In canine colon, M2/M3 muscarinic
receptors are coupled to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)
and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. We tested the
hypothesis that this coupling is mediated by enzymes of the
phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase family. RT-PCR and Western blotting
demonstrated expression of two isoforms, PI 3-kinase-
and PI
3-kinase-
. Muscarinic stimulation of intact muscle strips (10 µM
ACh) activated PI 3-kinase-
, ERK and p38 MAP kinases, and MAP
kinase-activated protein kinase-2, whereas PI 3-kinase-
activation
was not detected. Wortmannin (25 µM) abolished the activation of PI
3-kinase-
, ERK, and p38 MAP kinases. MAP kinase inhibition was a PI
3-kinase-
-specific effect, since wortmannin did not inhibit
recombinant activated murine ERK2 MAP kinase, protein kinase C, Raf-1,
or MAP kinase kinase. In cultured muscle cells, newborn calf
serum (3%) activated PI 3-kinase-
and PI 3-kinase-
isoforms, ERK
and p38 MAP kinases, and stimulated chemotactic cell migration. Using
wortmannin and LY-294002 to inhibit PI 3-kinase activity and PD-098059
and SB-203580 to inhibit ERK and p38 MAP kinases, we established that
these enzymes are functionally important for regulation of chemotactic migration of colonic myocytes.
