title: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation during renal ischemia/reperfusion mediates focal adhesion dissolution and renal injury.
abstract: Acute renal failure due to ischemia/reperfusion involves disruption of integrin-mediated cellular adhesion and activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. The dynamics of focal adhesion organization and phosphorylation during ischemia/reperfusion in relation to ERK activation are unknown. In control kidneys, protein tyrosine-rich focal adhesions, containing focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and talin, were present at the basolateral membrane of tubular cells and colocalized with short F-actin stress fibers. Unilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion caused a reversible protein dephosphorylation and loss of focal adhesions. The focal adhesion protein phosphorylation rebounded in a biphasic manner, in association with increased focal adhesion kinase, Src, and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation. Preceding phosphorylation of these focal adhesion proteins, reperfusion caused increased phosphorylation of ERK. The specific mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor U0126 prevented ERK activation and attenuated focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and Src phosphorylation, focal adhesion restructuring, and ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal injury. We propose a model whereby ERK activation enhanced protein tyrosine phosphorylation during ischemia/reperfusion, thereby driving the dynamic dissolution and restructuring of focal adhesions and F-actin cytoskeleton during reperfusion and renal injury.
