Abstract

Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) mediates its physiological effects by interactions with a subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors known as EP receptors. These receptors consist of four primary subtypes named EP(1), EP(2), EP(3), and EP(4). The EP(2) and EP(4) subtypes are known to couple to Galpha(s) and stimulate intracellular cyclic 3,5- adenosine monophosphate formation, whereas the EP(1) and EP(3) receptors are known to couple to Galpha(q) and Galpha(i), respectively. Recently we found that EP(2) and EP(4) receptors can activate T-cell factor signaling; however, EP(2) receptors did this primarily through a cAMP-dependent protein kinase-dependent pathway, whereas EP(4) receptors primarily utilized a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent pathway (Fujino, H., West, K. A., and Regan, J. W. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 2614-2619). We now report that PGE(2) stimulation of EP(4) receptors, but not EP(2) receptors, leads to phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) through a PI3K-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, this activation of PI3K/ERK signaling by the EP(4) receptors induces the functional expression of early growth response factor-1 (EGR-1). Under the same conditions induction of EGR-1 protein expression was not observed following PGE(2) stimulation of EP(2) receptors. These findings point to important differences in the signaling potential of the EP(2) and EP(4) receptors, which could be significant with respect to the potential involvement of EP(4) receptors in inflammation and cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
