title: Ligand-independent trans-activation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor by reactive oxygen species requires protein kinase C-delta and c-Src.
abstract: Reactive oxygen species are involved in the mitogenic signal transduction cascades initiated by several growth factors and play a critical role in mediating cardiovascular diseases. Interestingly, H(2)O(2) induces tyrosine phosphorylation and trans-activation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor and the epidermal growth factor receptor in many cell lines including vascular smooth muscle cells. To investigate the molecular mechanism by which reactive oxygen species contribute to vascular diseases, we have examined a signal transduction cascade involved in H(2)O(2)-induced platelet-derived growth factor receptor activation in vascular smooth muscle cells. We found that H(2)O(2) induced a ligand-independent phosphorylation of the platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor at Tyr(1021), a phospholipase C-gamma binding site, involving the requirement of protein kinase C-delta and c-Src that is distinct from a ligand-dependent autophosphorylation. Also, H(2)O(2) induced the association of protein kinase C-delta with the platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor and c-Src in vascular smooth muscle cells. These findings will provide new mechanistic insights by which enhanced reactive oxygen species production in vascular smooth muscle cells induces unique alleys of signal transduction distinct from those induced by endogenous ligands leading to an abnormal vascular remodeling process.
