Fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF9) is a potent mitogen that stimulates normal and cancer cell proliferation though the signaling mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to unravel the signaling cascades mediate FGF9 actions in human uterine endometrial stromal cell. Our results demonstrate that the mitogenic effect of FGF9 is transduced via two parallel but additive signaling pathways involving mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Activation of mTOR by FGF9 induces p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K1) phosphorylation, cyclin expression, and cell proliferation, which are independent of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt. Coimmuno-precipitation analysis demonstrates that mTOR physically associates with S6K1 upon FGF9 treatment, whereas ablation of mTOR activity using RNA interference or pharmacological inhibitor blocks S6K1 phosphorylation and cell proliferation induced by FGF9. Further study demonstrates that activation of mTOR is regulated by a phospholipase C gamma-controlled calcium signaling pathway. These studies provide evidence to demonstrate, for the first time, that a novel signaling cascade involving phospholipase C gamma, calcium, mTOR, and S6K1 is activated by FGF9 in a receptor-specific manner.
