-Catenin Signaling Pathway*
From the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of
Pharmacy, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721-80207
FP prostanoid receptors are
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that consist of two known isoforms,
FPA and FPB. These isoforms, which are
generated by alternative mRNA splicing, are identical except for
their carboxyl-terminal domains. Previously we have shown that
stimulation of both isoforms with prostaglandin F2
(PGF2
) activates the small G-protein Rho, leading to
morphological changes consisting of cell rounding and the formation of
cell aggregates. Following the removal of PGF2
, however,
FPA-expressing cells show rapid reversal of cell rounding,
whereas FPB-expressing cells do not. We now show that acute
treatment of FPB-expressing cells with PGF2
leads to a subcellular reorganization of
-catenin, a decrease in the
phosphorylation of cytoplasmic
-catenin, and persistent stimulation
of Tcf/Lef-mediated transcriptional activation. This does not
occur in FPA-expressing cells and may underlie the
differences between these isoforms with respect to the reversal of cell
rounding. The Tcf/
-catenin signaling pathway is known to mediate the
actions of Wnt acting through the heptahelical receptor,
Frizzled, and has not been associated previously with GPCR activation.
Our findings expand the signaling possibilities for GPCRs and suggest
novel roles for FP receptors in normal tissue development and malignant transformation.
