We studied whether bovine pituitary thyrotropin (bTSH) or human recombinant thyrotropin
(rhTSH) stimulated p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Chinese hamster
ovary cells expressing human thyrotropin receptor (CHO-hTSHR cells). We show that
p42/p44 MAPK phosphorylation was induced by both TSH preparations at similar levels in
CHO-hTSHR cells and in wild-type CHO cells. In contrast, cyclic adenosine monophosphate
(cAMP) production was stimulated by TSH only in CHO-hTSHR cells, demonstrating that …
We studied whether bovine pituitary thyrotropin (bTSH) or human recombinant thyrotropin (rhTSH) stimulated p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing human thyrotropin receptor (CHO-hTSHR cells). We show that p42/p44 MAPK phosphorylation was induced by both TSH preparations at similar levels in CHO-hTSHR cells and in wild-type CHO cells. In contrast, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production was stimulated by TSH only in CHO-hTSHR cells, demonstrating that p42/p44 MAPK stimulation was independent of the TSH receptor. Moreover, similar results were obtained with two other cell lines: the FRTL-5 thyroid cell line and the CCL39 fibroblast cell line. Maximal stimulation of p42/p44 MAPK phosphorylation was observed after a 5- to 10-minute incubation with bTSH and rhTSH preparations. At this time, the phosphorylation of GST-Elkl was also increased in a time- and concentrationdependent manner by bTSH preparations. The phosphorylation of p42/p44 MAPKs was abolished by PD 98059 and GF 109203X, indicating the involvement of MAPK kinases (MEK 1/2) and protein kinase C. In contrast, the activation of p42/p44 MAPKs was insensitive to H89, to cholera toxin and to pertussis toxin. These data suggest that the protein kinase A pathway was not implicated in p42/p44 MAPK activation by TSH preparations. Moreover, Gs or Gi/Go proteins do not appear to participate in p42/p44 MAPK activation. We also showed that these TSH preparations failed to induce activation of c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase. We therefore conclude that the commercial TSH preparations used in this study contained factor(s) responsible for the specific activation of p42/p44 MAPKs by a TSH receptor-independent mechanism.
