The importance of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene expression has been established, but the precise intracellular mechanisms are not fully understood. Our hypothesis is that the actin cytoskeleton is involved in TGF-beta1/MAPK-mediated PAI-1 expression in human mesangial cells. Examination of the distributions of actin filaments (F-actin), alpha-actinin, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation revealed that ERK and JNK associate with alpha-actinin along F-actin and that TGF-beta1 stimulation promote the dissociation of ERK and JNK with F-actin. Disassembly of the actin cytoskeleton inhibited phosphorylation of ERK and JNK and modulated PAI-1 expression and promoter activity under both basal and TGF-beta1-stimulated conditions. Stabilizing actin prevented dephosphorylation of ERK and JNK. ERK and JNK inhibitors and overexpressed dominant negative mutants antagonized the ability of TGF-beta1 to increase PAI-1 expression and promoter activity. Disassembly of F-actin also inhibited AP-1 DNA binding activity as determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay using AP-1 consensus oligonucleotides derived from human PAI-1 promoter. F-actin stabilization prevented loss of AP-1 DNA binding activity. Therefore, changes in actin cytoskeleton modulate the ability of TGF-beta1 to stimulate PAI-1 expression through a mechanism dependent on the activation of MAPK/AP-1 pathways.
