title: Gastric inhibitory polypeptide activates MAP kinase through the wortmannin-sensitive and -insensitive pathways.
abstract: The signal transduction pathways of a cloned human gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor have been investigated in CHO cells stably expressing this receptor. Exposure of GIP receptor expressing cells to GIP significantly increased MAP kinase activity. Time course analysis showed that a rapid and marked increase in MAP kinase activation was detected and that this activation reached maximal levels 10 min after the addition of GIP. Dose-response analysis showed that GIP activated MAP kinase activity in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 value of 5.9 x 10(-10) M of GIP. Wortmannin, a potent inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), partially inhibited GIP-induced MAP kinase activation, suggesting that GIP activates MAP kinase through two different, wortmannin-sensitive and -insensitive pathways. It has been demonstrated that in CHO cells cAMP attenuates MAP kinase activity by inhibiting Raf-1. Since GIP elevates intracellular cAMP, we examined the effects of cAMP on MAP kinase activation. Interestingly, forskolin, which increased intracellular cAMP levels, significantly inhibited MAP kinase activation by GIP, but did not affect MAP kinase activation by GIP in the presence of wortmannin, suggesting that the wortmannin-sensitive pathway activates an MAP kinase cascade at or above the level of Raf-1 and that the wortmannin-insensitive pathway activates an MAP kinase cascade below the level of Raf-1. These findings demonstrate that the GIP receptor is linked to the MAP kinase cascade via at least two different pathways.
