2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), an endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligand, was shown to induce rapid phosphorylation of p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) in HL-60 cells. We confirmed that the enzyme activity of p42/44 MAP kinase in HL-60 cells was augmented markedly when the cells were stimulated with 2-AG. The addition of SR144528, a cannabinoid CB2 receptor-specific antagonist, to the cells prior to the addition of 2-AG abolished the response induced by 2-AG, indicating that the CB2 receptor is involved in the response. G protein G(i) or G(o) is also assumed to be involved, because pertussis toxin treatment of the cells nullified the response induced by 2-AG. CP55940 and anandamide also induced the activation of p42/44 MAP kinase, although the activation by anandamide was less pronounced than that by 2-AG or CP55940. These results suggest that 2-AG may play an important physiological role in this type of cell through the activation of the p42/44 MAP kinase cascade.
