The phenotypic properties of the endothelium are subject to modulation by oxidative stress, and the c-dun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway is important in mediating cellular responses to stress, although activation of this pathway in endothelial cells has not been fully characterized. Therefore, we exposed endothelial cells to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and observed rapid activation of JNK within 15 min that involved phosphorylation of JNK and c-Jun and induction of AP-1 DNA binding activity, Inhibition of protein kinase C and phosphoinositide 3-kinase did not effect JNK activation. In contrast, the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein, herbimycin A, and 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-D]pyrimidine (PP2) significantly attenuated H2O2-induced JNK activation as did endothelial cell adenoviral transfection with a dominant-negative form of Src, implicating Src as an upstream activator of JNK, Activation of JNK by H2O2 was also inhibited by AG1478 and antisense oligonucleotides directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), implicating the EGFR in this process. Consistent with this observation, H2O2 stimulated EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation and complex formation with Shc-Grb2 that was abolished by PP2, implicating Src in H2O2-induced EGFR activation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGFR by H2O2 did not involve receptor autophosphorylation at Tyr(1173) as assessed by an autophosphorylation-specific antibody. These data indicate that H2O2-induced JNK activation in endothelial cells involves the EGFR through an Src-dependent pathway that is distinct from EGFR ligand activation. These data represent one potential pathway for mediating oxidative stress-induced phenotypic changes in the endothelium.
