RESUMO
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) and ERK2 (ERK1/2) dramatically enhance survival of cells exposed to heat shock. Using Cos-7 cells and primary human fibroblasts (IMR90 cells), we demonstrated that heat shock activates ERKs via two distinct mechanisms: stimulation of the ERK-activating kinases, MEK1/2, and inhibition of ERK dephosphorylation. Under milder heat shock conditions, activation of ERKs proceeded mainly through stimulation of MEK1/2, whereas under more severe heat shock MEK1/2 could no longer be activated and the inhibition of ERK phosphatases became critical. In Cos-7 cells, nontoxic heat shock caused rapid inactivation of the major ERK phosphatase, MKP-3, by promoting its aggregation, so that in cells exposed to 45°C for 20 min, 90% of MKP-3 became insoluble. MKP-3 aggregation was reversible and, 1 h after heat shock, MKP-3 partially resolubilized. The redistribution of MKP-3 correlated with an increased rate of ERK dephosphorylation. Similar heat-induced aggregation, followed by partial resolubilization, was found with a distinct dual-specificity phosphatase MKP-1 but not with MKP-2. Therefore, MKP-3 and MKP-1 appeared to be critical heat-labile phosphatases involved in the activation of ERKs by heat shock. Expression of the major heat shock protein Hsp72 inhibited activation of MEK1/2 and prevented inactivation of MKP-3 and MKP-1. Hsp72ΔEEVD mutant lacking a chaperone activity was unable to protect MKP-3 from heat inactivation but interfered with MEK1/2 activation similar to normal Hsp72. Hence, Hsp72 suppressed ERK activation by both protecting dual-specificity phosphatases, which was dependent on the chaperone activity, and suppressing MEK1/2, which was independent of the chaperone activity.
