Abstract 350: Downregulation of C-terminal Src Kinase (csk) and Csk-binding Protein (cbp) is Associated With Increased Aldosterone-induced C-src Phosphorylation in Shr Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
c-Src phosphorylation is controlled by the recruitment of enzyme regulators, such as C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) which inhibits Src activity, and interactions with transmembrane adaptors. These complex regulatory mechanisms coordinate activity of c-Src at multiple levels. We previously showed that in aldosterone-stimulated SHR vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), c-Src phosphorylation and its downstream signaling are upregulated. Here we hypothesized that mechanisms underlying vascular c-Src hyperactivation in SHR are related to dysregulated CSK and altered autophosphorylation at Tyr416 and Tyr527 in aldosterone-stimulated SHR cells. Studies were performed in cultured VSMCs from WKY and SHR. C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) cytosol/membrane translocation, Csk-binding protein (CBP), and c-Src phosphorylation were evaluated by western blot. Cholesterol-enriched fractions were obtained by sucrose-gradient centrifugation. Aldosterone (100 nM) induced Tyr527 c-Src phosphorylation (153.5 ± 13.6 %) which locks the kinase in an inactive conformation. This was blunted in SHR cells. Csk is a cytosolic kinase that catalyzes c-Src Tyr527 phosphorylation. ASN (10 uM), a Csk inhibitor, prevented the kinase translocation to the membrane and inhibited Tyr527 c-Src phosphorylation induced by aldosterone in WKY cells. Inhibition of Csk induced an increase in Tyr416 c-Src (180 ± 21%) under basal conditions. In SHR cells, Csk translocation to the membrane was reduced by aldosterone compared with WKY cells. Aldosterone induced an increase in expression (180.3 ± 39 %) and phosphorylation (169 ± 23 %) of the adaptor protein CBP in WKY, but not in SHR cells. Aldosterone stimulation increased Csk trafficking into lipid rafts/caveolae in WKY cells, without affecting the kinase content in the cholesterol-enriched fractions from SHR. Our findings demonstrate that 1) key regulators of c-Src activation by aldosterone, specifically Csk and CBP, are altered in SHR VSMCs; 2) c-Src regulation by aldosterone involves lipid rafts/caveolae. These novel findings suggest that modulation of Csk could be an important strategy to blunt c-Src-dependent aldosterone vascular effects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
