Late-phase and sustained activation of p44/42(MAPK) has been reported to be a critical factor in cell mitogenesis. We therefore hypothesized that p44/42(MAPK) is involved in mannosyl-rich glycoprotein-induced mitogenesis in bovine airway smooth-muscle cells (ASMC). Treatment of adherent ASMC with beta-hexosaminidase A (Hex A, 50 nM), an endogenous mannosyl-rich glycoprotein, resulted in a late-onset (30-min) activation of p44/42(MAPK) that lasted for 4 h. Activation of p44/42MAPK induced by Hex A was inhibited by an 18-mer phosphorothioate-derivatized antisense oligonucleotide (1-5 mu M) directed to human p44(MAPK); the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1) inhibitor PD98059 (5 mu M); the p42(MAPK) inhibitor Tyrphostin AG-126 (0.2 mu M); the farnesyl transferase inhibitors SCH-56582 (10 mu M) and FPT III (10 mu M), which inhibit p21Ras activation; and Calphostin C (0.2 mu M), an inhibitor of protein kinase C. These agents also inhibited Hex A-induced cell proliferation in bovine ASMC, These data suggest that Hex A activates p44/42(MAPK) in a p21Ras- and PKC-dependent manner and that this activation mediates Hex A-induced mitogenesis in bovine ASMC.
