Binding of Receptor-recognized Forms of alpha 2-Macroglobulin to the alpha 2-Macroglobulin Signaling Receptor Activates Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase

Ligation of the alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) signaling receptor by receptor-recognized forms of alpha 2M (alpha 2M*) initiates mitogenesis secondary to increased intracellular Ca2+. We report here that ligation of the alpha 2M signaling receptor also causes a 1.5-2.5-fold increase in wortmannin-sensitive phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity as measured by the quantitation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 formation was alpha 2M* concentration-dependent with a maximal response at ~50 pM ligand concentration. The peak formation of PIP3 occurred at 10 min of incubation. The alpha 2M receptor binding fragment mutant K1370R which binds to the alpha 2M signaling receptor activating the signaling cascade, increased PIP3 formation by 2-fold. The mutant K1374A, which binds very poorly to the alpha 2M signaling receptor, did not cause any increase in PIP3 formation. alpha 2M*-induced DNA synthesis was inhibited by wortmannin. 1,2Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acetoxymethylester a chelator of intracellular Ca2+, drastically reduced alpha 2M*-induced increases in PIP3 formation. We conclude that PI3K is involved in alpha 2M*-induced mitogenesis in macrophages and intracellular Ca2+ plays a role in PI3K activation.
