We have
previously shown that Ca2+-dependent Cl
secretion across intestinal epithelial cells is limited by a signaling
pathway involving transactivation of the epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR) and activation of ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Here, we have investigated a possible role for p38 MAPK in
regulation of Ca2+-dependent Cl
secretion.
Western blot analysis of T84 colonic epithelial cells revealed that the muscarinic agonist carbachol (CCh; 100 µM)
stimulated phosphorylation and activation of p38 MAPK. The p38
inhibitor SB-203580 (10 µM) potentiated and prolonged short-circuit
current (Isc) responses to CCh across
voltage-clamped T84 cells to 157.4 ± 6.9% of those
in control cells (n = 21; P < 0.001).
CCh-induced p38 phosphorylation was attenuated by the EGFR inhibitor
tyrphostin AG-1478 (0.1 nM-10 µM) and by the Src family kinase
inhibitor PP2 (20 nM-2 µM). The effects of CCh on p38
phosphorylation were mimicked by thapsigargin (TG; 2 µM), which
specifically elevates intracellular Ca2+, and were
abolished by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM (20 µM), implying
a role for intracellular Ca2+ in mediating p38 activation.
SB-203580 (10 µM) potentiated Isc responses to
TG to 172.4 ± 18.1% of those in control cells (n = 18; P < 0.001). When cells were pretreated with
SB-203580 and PD-98059 to simultaneously inhibit p38 and ERK MAPKs,
respectively, Isc responses to TG and CCh were
significantly greater than those observed with either inhibitor alone.
We conclude that Ca2+-dependent agonists stimulate p38 MAPK
in T84 cells by a mechanism involving intracellular
Ca2+, Src family kinases, and the EGFR. CCh-stimulated p38
activation constitutes a similar, but distinct and complementary,
antisecretory signaling pathway to that of ERK MAPK.
