Prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha activated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and MAP kinase kinase in NIH-3T3 cells by a mechanism that was completely inhibited by protein kinase inhibitors, staurosporine (20 nM) or H-7 (20 microM), but was insensitive to pretreatment with islet-activating protein (100 ng/ml; 24 h) or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (2.5 microM; 24 h). PGF2 alpha stimulation also led to a significant increase in Ras.GTP complex. Transfection of a cDNA encoding a constitutively active mutant of Gq alpha-subunit (Q209L) mimicked PGF2 alpha-induced MAP kinase activation, increase in Ras.GTP complex, and DNA synthesis in these cells, suggesting that activation of Gq mediates the PGF2 alpha-activation of Ras-MAP kinase pathway and mitogenesis in NIH-3T3 cells. These data provide a new insight into regulatory mechanisms of Ras-MAP kinase pathway through heterotrimeric G-protein-mediated pathways.
