title: Stimulation of the alpha1A adrenergic receptor inhibits PDGF-induced PDGF beta receptor Tyr751 phosphorylation and PI 3-kinase activation.
abstract: Several reports indicate that some G(alphaq)-coupled receptors antagonize the activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase by receptor tyrosine kinases. We used Rat-1 fibroblasts expressing the alpha(1A) adrenergic receptor to study how this G(alphaq)-coupled receptor inhibits platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) activation of PI 3-kinase. Phenylephrine (PE) stimulation of the alpha(1A) adrenergic receptor inhibited PDGF-induced binding of PI 3-kinase to the PDGF receptor (PDGFR) and phosphorylation of the PDGFR at Tyr751, which forms a docking site for PI 3-kinase. By contrast, activation of phospholipase C gamma by PDGF and phosphorylation of the PDGFR at Tyr716 and Tyr771 were not inhibited by PE. The protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2, which dephosphorylates Tyr751 on the PDGFR, was more active in cells treated with PDGF plus PE than in cells treated with either agent alone. PDGF-induced PI 3-kinase signaling was also inhibited by treatment of cells with Pasteurella multocida toxin to activate G(alphaq). These results suggest that the alpha(1A) adrenergic receptor, and perhaps other G(alphaq)-coupled receptors, uses tyrosine dephosphorylation to block PI 3-kinase activation by PDGF.
