DDC up-regulates MMP-1 through ERK1/2 and Akt activation(A) Co-cultures were treated with 100 μM DDC for the indicated time. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 and Akt were determined by Western blotting analysis. The corresponding non-phosphorylated ERK1/2, p38, Akt and beta-actin were used for protein loading control. (B) Co-cultures were treated with or without 100 μM DDC for 24 h in the presence or absence of ERK1/2 inhibitor (U0126, 10 μM). MMP-1 protein levels were analysed by Western blotting. (C) Co-cultures were treated with or without 100 μM DDC for 24 h in the presence or absence of p38 inhibitor (SB203580, 10 μM). MMP-1 protein levels were analysed by Western blotting.

Depletion of Rac1b increases constitutive and growth factor-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation. (A) Panc1 cells were transiently transfected with siRNA specific to Rac1b (R1b) or irrelevant control siRNA (Co), serum-starved for 24 h and treated with TGF-beta 1 as indicated. Cells were subjected to immunoblotting for p-ERK1/2, t-ERK1/2 and HSP90 as well as Rac1b as a control for transfection efficiency. The chart below shows the relative intensities of the p-ERK1/2 bands normalized to those for t-ERK1/2 from three independent experiments (mean ± SD, n = 3). Data are displayed relative to non-stimulated Rac1b siRNA-transfected cells set arbitrarily at 1. Asterisks indicate a significant difference.

Effects of ectopic overexpression of Rac1b on TGF-beta 1-induced ERK1/2 activation and gene expression. (A) Panc1 cells stably overexpressing Rac1b from the pCGN vector (two independent clones, #4 and #13) as well as empty-vector control cells (v) were serum-starved, treated with TGF-beta 1 for 12 h and subjected to immunoblotting for p-ERK1/2, t-ERK1/2, and HA-Rac1b. The graph underneath the blot shows results from densitometric analysis of the respective bands for p-ERK1/2 normalized to those for t-ERK1/2 and derived from four independent experiments (mean ± SD, n = 4). Data are displayed relative to TGF-beta 1 stimulated vector control cells set arbitrarily at 1. Asterisks indicate a significant difference of p-ERK1/2 band intensity between the vector control and the two HA-Rac1b expressing clones. Due to the short exposure time, endogenous Rac1b protein is not visible. (B) The same cells as in (A) were stimulated with TGF-beta 1 for 24 h and subjected to qPCR for E-cadherin and PAR2. Data are displayed as TGF-beta 1-treated over control cells and are the mean ± SD of 3 experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences. Data are from the same blot/gel treated subsequently with antibodies to p-ERK1/2, Rac1b, and HSP90, then stripped and reincubated with an antibody to t-ERK1/2. The vertical lines between lanes 3 and 4 indicate removal of irrelevant lanes from the blot.
