pubmed:abstractText |
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been shown to protect renal epithelial cells against apoptosis. To define the mechanism by which HGF inhibits apoptosis, we investigated the effect of HGF on the phosphorylation and expression of the Bcl-2 family proteins. Using a human proximal tubular epithelial cell (HKC) line as a model, we demonstrated that constitutive expression of HGF conveyed marked resistance to apoptotic death induced by serum withdrawal. HGF induced rapid phosphorylation of Akt in HKC cells, which was immediately followed by phosphorylation and resultant inactivation of Bad, a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. Pretreatment of the HKC cells with 10 nM wortmannin completely abolished HGF-induced phosphorylation of Akt and Bad, suggesting that this pathway is dependent on phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase. Overexpression of Bad increased apoptotic death in wild-type HKC cells but not in HGF-producing H4 cells. Immunoblotting confirmed that the Bad protein over-expressed in H4 cells was fully phosphorylated at both Ser(112) and Ser(136) sites. Prolonged incubation of HKC cells with HGF also dramatically induced expression of Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. These results suggest that the anti-apoptotic effect of HGF in renal epithelial cells is mediated by dual mechanisms involving two distinct Bcl-2 family proteins. HGF triggers Bad phosphorylation via the PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway, thereby inactivating this pro-apoptotic protein, while simultaneously inducing expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL.
