To determine if this dramatically decreased EGFR expression could inhibit downstream components of EGF signaling, we also examined activation of ERK1 (a terminal effector in the mitogen activated protein kinase pathway).
The C-terminal C-box (aa 352-399), harboring the transactivation domain, contains several consensus mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation sites.
4-aminopyridine (4-AP); analysis of variance (ANOVA); 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (8-CPT-cAMP); 4',4' diisothicyanato-stilbene-2-2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS); bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid)trimethine oxonol (DiBAC 4 (3)); 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT); Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (DMEM); enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL); ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); fetal bovine serum (FBS); follicle stimulating hormone (FSH); granulosa cells (GC); human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG); 4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES); 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD); 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX); least significant difference (LSD); luteinizing hormone (LH); mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK); 1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-[1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane-7,16-diylbis(5-methoxy-6,2-benzofurandiyl)]bis-, tetrakis [(acetyloxy)methyl] ester (PBFI-AM); phosphate-buffered saline (PBS); proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA); protein kinase A (PKA); sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE); steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR); tris-buffered saline (TBS).
Our finding that 24 h exposure to 4-AP decreased the number of viable GC in serum-free but not serum-supplemented primary cultures is consistent with the reported effects of 4-AP and other K +channel antagonists on other cell types [ 8 43 44 ] . It has been shown that the concentrations of K +channel antagonists required to inhibit growth of human bladder tumor cells can be 70 times higher in the presence than the absence of serum [ 43 ] . 4-AP has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of human myelobastic leukemia cells by preventing growth factor activation of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways [ 42 ] . This mechanism may be responsible for the anti-proliferative effect of 4-AP manifest in Table 1. It is likely that MAPK pathways are less robust in GC grown in defined serum-free vs. serum-supplemented media; however, validation of this hypothesis would require additional experiments beyond the scope of the present investigation.
Since (a) it is generally accepted that CD4 or CD8 are physically associated to the TCR in the course of T cell activation [ 17 18 ] and (b) it is well known that mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling is involved in the selection of the T cell repertoire [ 19 20 ] , the present study further proposes that the PKC and PKA-mediated signaling, which regulates TCR expression, can coordinately modulate the selection of CD4 +CD8 -and CD4 -CD8 +T cells during human intrathymic differentiation.
