BACKGROUND Exposure to cigarette smoke stimulates the proliferation of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs) in vivo and in vitro. However, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed at investigating the role of signaling pathways involving protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) and cyclin D1 in the cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced HPASMCs proliferation. METHODS Synchronized HPASMCs were treated with different concentrations of CSE. Cell proliferation was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cell counting. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry with propidium iodide staining. Activation of PKCα was measured by detecting the expression of PKCα protein in the cytosolic and membrane fractions using Western blotting analysis. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knockdown PKCα and cyclin D1. The cyclin D1 mRNA was assessed by real-time RT-PCR. The PKCα and cyclin D1 protein levels were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS Low concentrations of CSE (1% - 10%) stimulated proliferation of HPASMCs, with its maximal effect at 5%. CSE (5%) led to PKCα activation. Inhibition of PKCα activity using Gö 6976 or siRNA-mediated knockdown of PKCα significantly attenuated CSE-induced cell proliferation and G1/S transition. Cyclin D1, one of key regulators of G1/S transition, was found to be upregulated by 5% CSE at both the mRNA and protein levels. CSE-stimulated cell proliferation and G1/S transition was abolished by cyclin D1 siRNA. Moreover, Gö 6976 or PKCα siRNA significantly suppressed CSE-induced upregulation of cyclin D1 at both the mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSIONS PKCα-cyclin D1 pathway at least partially mediates the CSE-induced proliferation in HPASMCs.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
