We investigated whether repression of JNK by hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) in MDCK epithelial cells is linked to its ability to protect cells from apoptosis. To this purpose, cells were treated by TNF-alpha, a well-known inducer of JNK and of cell death, and the effects of HGF/SF were investigated under these conditions. We identified repression of JNK as a signaling target of HGF/SF for protection against TNF-alpha-induced cell death. This effect of HGF/SF occurs via the activation of the PI3K and MEK1 pathways.
我们研究了在MDCK上皮细胞中,肝细胞生长因子/分散因子(HGF/SF)对JNK的抑制作用是否与其保护细胞免受凋亡的能力有关。为此,用肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α,一种众所周知的JNK和细胞死亡诱导剂)处理细胞,并在这些条件下研究HGF/SF的作用。我们确定JNK的抑制是HGF/SF对抗TNF-α诱导的细胞死亡的信号转导靶点。HGF/SF的这种作用是通过激活PI3K和MEK1途径实现的。
