Treatment of cells with a variety of growth factors triggers a
phosphorylation cascade that leads to activation of mitogen-activated
protein kinases (MAPKs, also called extracellular signal-regulated kinases,
or ERKs). We have identified a synthetic inhibitor of the MAPK pathway. PD
098059 [2-(2'-amino-3'-methoxyphenyl)-oxanaphthalen-4-one] selectively
inhibited the MAPK-activating enzyme, MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK), without
significant inhibitory activity of MAPK itself. Inhibition of MEK by PD
098059 prevented activation of MAPK and subsequent phosphorylation of MAPK
substrates both in vitro and in intact cells. Moreover, PD 098059 inhibited
stimulation of cell growth and reversed the phenotype of ras-transformed
BALB 3T3 mouse fibroblasts and rat kidney cells. These results indicate
that the MAPK pathway is essential for growth and maintenance of the
ras-transformed phenotype. Further, PD 098059 is an invaluable tool that
will help elucidate the role of the MAPK cascade in a variety of biological
settings.
