Abstract
Abstract In response to hypoxia and reoxygenation, mammalian cells are known to express a variety of genes to adapt to these external stresses or lead to further cell damage. We investigated the intracellular signaling cascades in cultured rat cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia or hypoxia followed by reoxygenation (hypoxia/reoxygenation). Here, we show that both hypoxia and hypoxia/reoxygenation caused rapid activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) activity of Raf-1. This was followed by the sequential activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK), mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, and S6 kinase (p90 rsk ). Furthermore, hypoxia caused hyperphosphorylation of Raf-1. The maximal hyperphosphorylation of Raf-1 appeared to be accompanied by a significant decrease in MAPKKK activity. These results strongly suggest the following: (1) Intracellular signals initiated by both hypoxia and hypoxia/reoxygenation converge on Raf-1 and activate its MAPKKK activity. Then, Raf-1 activates downstream serine/threonine kinases including MAPKK, MAP kinases, and p90 rsk . (2) Raf-1 is not only located upstream from MAPKK and MAP kinases but also may be phosphorylated by MAP kinases directly or indirectly, and at least Raf-1 kinase activity may be downregulated by this feedback mechanism.
