摘要

Following wounding, endogenously secreted TGFβs drive resident and bone marrow-derived cells to convert into α-smooth actin (SMA)-rich, contractile myofibroblasts. The TGFβ effect is initiated by the phosphorylation of SMADs 2 and 3 (SMAD2/3). This event has been referred to as the canonical response to TGFβ. TGFβ also elicits other responses viewed as parallel events not directly connected to the SMAD activation, and thus referred to as noncanonical. A recognized response is the phosphorylation of the -activated kinase (TAK1/MAP3K), an upstream component of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. We have now examined the relationship between these two effects of TGFβ1 at their earliest stages. The bulk of the studies were carried out with primary fibroblasts derived from the human cornea. The results' widespread relevance was confirmed in critical experiments with dermal-, and Tenon's capsule-derived fibroblasts. Cells were treated with kinase inhibitors or targeting siRNAs followed by induction by 2 ng/ml TGFβ1, and/or 10 ng/ml TNF-α. Cells were collected after 1 to 30 min for Western blot analysis and assayed for the accumulation of phosphorylated TAK1, ASK1, JNK1/2, p38, HPS27, MELK, SMAD2/3, and GAPDH. The effect of the kinase inhibitors on α-SMA expression and α-SMA stress fiber organization was also tested. For the immediate response to TGFβ1 we found that a) activation of the MAPK pathway was completed within 1 min after the addition of TGFβ1; b) phosphorylation of JNK1/2 was fully dependent on TAK1 and ASK1 activity, c) phosphorylation of MELK was fully dependent on JNK1/2 activity; d) phosphorylation of ASK1 depends on MELK activity, indicating the existence of an ASK1-MELK positive activation feedback loop; e) phosphorylation of SMAD2/3 started only after a 5 min period and reached a nadir after 10–15 min, f) the latter phosphorylation was fully blocked by inhibition of TAK1, ASK1, JNK1/2, and MELK, and siRNA-driven MELK downregulation; g) the inhibitors equally blocked the α-SMA protein expression, stress fiber development, and cell morphology changes at 72 h. These results demonstrate that the activation of the canonical pathway is fully subordinate to the activity of the MAPK pathway, challenging the concept of canonical and noncanonical TGFβ pathways and that SMAD2/3 activation is mediated by MELK, a kinase not previously associated with rapid pharmacological responses.
