Substance P (SP) participates in acute intestinal inflammation via binding to the G-protein-coupled neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) and release of proinflammatory cytokines from colonic epithelial cells. SP also stimulates cell proliferation, a critical event in tissue healing during chronic colitis, via transactivation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Here we examined the mechanism by which SP induces EGFR and MAPK activation. We used non-transformed human NCM460 colonocytes stably transfected with the human NK-1R (NCM460-NK-1R cells) as well as untransfected U373 MG cells expressing high levels of endogenous NK-1R. Exposure of both cell lines to SP (10(-7) m) stimulated EGFR activation (1 min) followed by extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) activation (2-5 min). SP-induced ERK1/2 activation was blocked by pretreatment with the metalloproteinase inhibitor Batimastat/GM6001, the EGFR phosphorylation inhibitor AG1478, and the tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitor TAPI-1. Pretreatment with antibodies against potential EGFR ligands suggested that transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFalpha), but not the other EGFR ligands EGF, heparin-binding EGF, or amphiregulin, mediates SP-induced EGFR transactivation. SP stimulated TGFalpha release into the extracellular space that was measurable within 2 min, and this release was inhibited by metalloproteinase inhibitors and the TACE inhibitor TAPI-1. SP also induced MAPK-mediated cell proliferation that was inhibited by TACE, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), EGFR, and MEK1 inhibitors. Thus, in human colonocytes, NK-1R-induced EGFR and MAPK activation and cell proliferation involve matrix metalloproteinases (most likely TACE) and the release of TGFalpha. These signaling mechanisms may be involved in the protective effects of NK-1R in chronic colitis.
