Endothelin Stimulatessis-Inducing Factor-like DNA Binding Activity in CHO-K1 Cells Expressing ETAReceptors
BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS(1996)
Abstract
ET-1, a member of the family of peptides known as endothelins, binds to a G-protein-coupled receptor, ET(A), and stimulates a variety of cellular responses, including contraction, growth, and mitogenesis. ET-1 stimulation of a chinese hamster ovary cell line stably transfected with the ET(A) receptor (CHO/ET(A)) induced formation of SIF (sis-inducing factor), a key component of the STAT (Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription) pathway, in a concentration-dependent manner. SIF induction was blocked by a specific inhibitor of ET(A), BQ610, and by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This report demonstrates that ET-1 stimulates the STAT pathway of signal transduction through a G-protein-coupled receptor, ET(A), in this stably transfected cell line. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
