title: An EGF receptor-mediated signal attenuates the inhibitory effect of LPA on an adenylate cyclase activity.
abstract: A tyrosine kinase receptor-mediated and a heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptor-mediated signals have been shown to evoke distinct intracellular signaling events. There has been increasing evidence that cross-talk exists between a tyrosine kinase receptor-mediated and a heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways. In the present study, we have studied effects of EGF receptor activation on activities of inhibitory G protein (Gi). We show that the amounts of Gi/Go ADP-ribosylated by islet-activating protein (IAP) increased by 30-40% in the membranes of Rat 1 fibroblast cells pretreated with EGF compared with those without pretreatment. When an effect of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulation on an adenylate cyclase activity was examined, LPA partly attenuated forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity via Gi because IAP pretreatment blocked the inhibitory effect of LPA. Pretreatment with EGF reduced the ability of LPA to inhibit the forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, while the pretreatment did not have any effects on the forskolin-stimulated activity. Thus, the EGF receptor-mediated signal appears to cause the impairment of Gi function in Rat 1 fibroblast cells.
