Figure 3 Overview of APJ signalling pathways. Schematic diagram of APJ
signalling pathways. Coupling to Gq/11 stimulates PLC-β signalling,
including the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2) to
IP3 and diacyl glycerol (DAG). DAG subsequently activates PKC, which is
an activator of the small G-protein, Ras. Ras then either activates a
cascade leading to the activation of JNK, and the transcription factors SP1
and c-Jun or the MAPK cascade of Raf-1, MAPK-/ERK kinase (MEK1/2) and
ERK1/2. ERK1/2 have a variety of substrates including numerous
transcription factors (e.g. c-Jun and c-fos) and other kinases (e.g. p70S6K).
Gq/11 also signals independently of PKC, but still via Ras and the MAPK
cascade. Gi/o stimulates the MAPK cascade via PKC, and it can also
activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) with the subsequent activation
of Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), leading to the
activation of both p70S6K and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).
Furthermore, Gi/o signalling inhibits adenylate cyclase (AC) activity. In
contrast, Gs activates AC, increasing cAMP synthesis from ATP, leading to
the activation of protein kinase A (PKA). Thin black arrows indicate
activation pathways and the red blunted arrow indicates inhibition.
