The role of ERK, Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, and c-Src in GnRH-stimulated FSHbeta-subunit promoter activity was examined in the LbetaT-2 gonadotroph cell line. Incubation of the cells with a GnRH agonist resulted in activation of ERK, JNK, p38, and c-Src. The peak of ERK activation was observed at 5 min, whereas that of JNK, p38, and c-Src at 30 min, declining thereafter. ERK activation by GnRH is dependent on protein kinase C (PKC), as evident by activation, inhibition, and depletion of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-sensitive PKC subspecies. Ca(2+) influx, but not Ca(2+) mobilization, is required for ERK activation. GnRH signaling to ERK is partially mediated by dynamin and a protein tyrosine kinase, apparently c-Src. ERK activation by GnRH in LbetaT-2 cells does not involve transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor or mediation via Gbetagamma or beta-arrestin. Once activated by GnRH, ERK translocates to the nucleus. We examined the role of ERK, JNK, p38, and c-Src in GnRH-stimulated ovine FSHbeta promoter, linked to a luciferase reporter gene (-4741oFSHbeta-LUC). The PKC activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, but not the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin, stimulated FSHbeta-luciferase (LUC) activity. Furthermore, down-regulation of PKC, but not removal of Ca(2+), inhibited the GnRH response. Cotransfection of FSHbeta-LUC and the constitutively active forms of Raf-1 and MEK stimulated FSHbeta-LUC activity, whereas the dominant negatives of Ras, Raf-1, and MEK and the selective MEK inhibitor PD98059, abolished GnRH-induced FSHbeta-LUC activity. The dominant negatives of CDC42 and JNK reduced the GnRH response by 36 and 49%, respectively. Incubation of the cells with the p38 or the c-Src inhibitors SB203580 and PP1 also reduced the GnRH response. Surprisingly, two proximal activator protein-1 sites contribute very little to the GnRH response. Thus, PKC, ERK, JNK, p38, and c-Src, but not Ca(2+), are involved in GnRH induction of the ovine FSHbeta gene.
