表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR)属受体酪氨酸激酶(tyrosine kinase,TK)家族,其胞内的酪氨酸激酶在细胞信号转导通路中具有十分重要的作用。许多肿瘤的发生、发展都与EGFR胞内酪氨酸激酶的异常表达密切相关。因此,EGFR胞内酪氨酸激酶的抑制剂有可能成为治疗肿瘤的有效药物。从人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)提取总RNA,采用RT-PCR获得EGFR酪氨酸激酶催化域的编码基因。将其克隆至载体pET-30a,在E.coliBL21(DE3)中进行了成功表达,采用Ni-NTA亲和层析对其进行了纯化。通过对酶的活性的测定,证明重组EGFR酪氨酸激酶蛋白具有利用ATP催化底物发生磷酸化反应的激酶活性。以该重组激酶为靶位构建了酶抑制剂筛选模型,拟对微生物代谢产物进行筛选。  相似文献

Abstract

Receptor tyrosine kinases (PTKs) play key roles in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases, including cancer, and therefore PTK inhibitors are currently under intense investigation as potential drug candidates. PTK inhibitor screening data are, however, poorly comparable because of the different assay technologies used. Here we report a comparison of ELISA-based assays for screening epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitory compound libraries to study interassay variations. All assays were based on the same protocol, except for the source of EGFR-TK enzymes. In the first protocol, the enzyme was isolated from A431 cells without affinity purification. In the second protocol, commercial EGFR-TK (Sigma) isolated from A431 cells by affinity-purification was employed. In the third protocol, an enzyme preparation obtained from a recombinant (Baculovirus transfected Sf9 cells) expression system was used. All assays employed the synthetic peptide substrate poly-(Glu, Tyr)1:4 and an ELISA-based system to detect phosphorylated tyrosine residues by a monoclonal antibody. We observed significant differences in both the activity of the enzymes and in the EGFR-TK inhibitory effect of our reference compound PD153035. The differences were significant in case of A431 cell lysate compared to affinity purified EGFR-TKs derived from either A431cells or Baculovirus transfected Sf9 cells, whereas the latter two showed comparable results. Our data suggest that differences in terms of interassay variation are not related to the source of the enzyme but to its purity; changes in the mode of detection can markedly influence the reproducibility of results. In conclusion, normalization of the EGFR activity used for inhibitor screening and standardization of detection methods enable safe comparison of data.  相似文献

血管内皮生长因子受体 1(Flt 1)在血管生成过程中起着重要的作用。Flt 1胞内域的酪氨酸激酶直接参与了VEGF与Flt 1结合后的胞内信号转导途径。在原核系统中表达得到具有酶活性的Flt 1酪氨酸激酶融合蛋白 ,并进行了初步的性质研究。利用逆转录PCR技术从人肝癌组织总RNA中得到Flt 1酪氨酸激酶区的cDNA ,将其克隆到表达载体质粒 pGEX KG中 ,并在大肠杆菌BL2 1(DE3) pLysS中表达、纯化 ,得到可溶的Flt 1酪氨酸激酶融合蛋白 (GST F)。虽然GST F不包含目前已知的磷酸化位点 ,但研究表明GST F能够进行自磷酸化反应 ,并且其活性需要镁离子或锰离子的参与。同时发现GST F能够磷酸化合成底物 polyE4Y ,而不能作用于MBP和Src相关肽。底物磷酸化时最适的镁离子和锰离子浓度分别为 15mmol/L和 0 .5mmol/L。GST F为寻找抗肿瘤药物提供了一个有效工具  相似文献

在人肝癌细胞7721中研究了酪氨酸蛋白激酶(TPK)和蛋白激酶C(PKC)的激活剂[分别为表皮生长因子(EGF)和佛波酯(PMA)]和各种蛋白激酶抑制剂对N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖转移酶V(GnT-V)活力的影响,以探讨TPK和PKC对GnT-V的调节。结果发现,EGF或PMA处理细胞48h后,GnT-V的活力明显增高;蛋白激酶的非特异性抑制剂槲皮素和染料木黄酮(genistein)在抑制TPK和PKC的同时,抑制GnT-V的基础活力,并完全阻断EGF或PMA对GnT-V的增高作用;TPK的特异性抑制剂Tyrphostin-25和PKC的特异性抑制剂D-鞘氨醇分别应用时,各自只能部分地取消EGF或PMA对GnT-V的诱导。但当Tyrphostin-25和D-鞘氨醇同时加入培养基中则可完全阻断EGF或PMA对GnT-V的诱导激活。蛋白质合成抑制剂环己亚胺和蛋白激酶抑制剂作用相仿,不但可抑制GnT-V的基础活力,也可完全消除EGF或PMA对GnT-V的激活。以上结果提示EGF或PMA通过蛋白激酶调节GnT-V的酶蛋白合成,并且GnT-V受到膜性TPK和PKC的双重调节,其中m-TPK较m-PKC更为重要。  相似文献

Although non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors with activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are highly responsive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including gefitinib and erlotinib, development of acquired resistance is almost inevitable. Statins show antitumor activity, but it is unknown whether they can reverse EGFR-TKIs resistance in NSCLC with the T790M mutation of EGFR. This study investigated overcoming resistance to EGFR-TKI using simvastatin. We demonstrated that addition of simvastatin to gefitinib enhanced caspase-dependent apoptosis in T790M mutant NSCLC cells. Simvastatin also strongly inhibited AKT activation, leading to suppression of β-catenin activity and the expression of its targets, survivin and cyclin D1. Both insulin treatment and AKT overexpression markedly increased p-β-catenin and survivin levels, even in the presence of gefitinib and simvastatin. However, inhibition of AKT by siRNA or LY294002 treatment decreased p-β-catenin and survivin levels. To determine the role of survivin in simvastatin-induced apoptosis of gefitinib-resistant NSCLC, we showed that the proportion of apoptotic cells following treatment with survivin siRNA and the gefitinib–simvastatin combination was greater than the theoretical additive effects, whereas survivin up-regulation could confer protection against gefitinib and simvastatin-induced apoptosis. Similar results were obtained in erlotinib and simvastatin-treated HCC827/ER cells. These findings suggest that survivin is a key molecule that renders T790M mutant NSCLC cells resistant to apoptosis induced by EGFR-TKIs and simvastatin. Overall, these data indicate that simvastatin may overcome EGFR-TKI resistance in T790M mutant NSCLCs via an AKT/β-catenin signaling-dependent down-regulation of survivin and apoptosis induction.  相似文献

The yeast MAPKKK Ste11 activates three MAP kinase pathways, including pheromone signaling, osmosensing, and pseudohyphal/invasive growth pathways. We identified two chemical compounds, BTB03006 and GK03225, that suppress growth defects induced by Ste11 activation in diploid yeast cells. BTB03006, but not GK03225, was found to suppress growth defects induced by both α-factor and Ste4 Gβ overexpression in the pheromone signaling pathway, suggesting that GK03225 is an osmosensing pathway-specific inhibitor. We also performed genome-wide suppressor analysis for Ste11 activation, using a yeast deletion strains collection, and identified PBS2 and HOG1, and several genes associated with chaperone functions, which represent potential target proteins of the drugs screened from Ste11 activation. GK03225 possesses an Iressa-like quinazoline ring structure, and its chemical analog, 11N-078, suppresses c-Abl human tyrosine kinase activity. These results suggest that drug screening in yeast can identify human tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other drugs for human diseases.  相似文献

Receptor tyrosine kinases have been implicated in the development and progression of many cancers, including both leukemia and solid tumors, and are attractive druggable therapeutic targets. Here we describe an efficient four-step strategy for pre-clinical evaluation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of acute leukemia. Initially, western blot analysis is used to confirm target inhibition in cultured leukemia cells. Functional activity is then evaluated using clonogenic assays in methylcellulose or soft agar cultures. Experimental compounds that demonstrate activity in cell culture assays are evaluated in vivo using NOD-SCID-gamma (NSG) mice transplanted orthotopically with human leukemia cell lines. Initial in vivo pharmacodynamic studies evaluate target inhibition in leukemic blasts isolated from the bone marrow. This approach is used to determine the dose and schedule of administration required for effective target inhibition. Subsequent studies evaluate the efficacy of the TKIs in vivo using luciferase expressing leukemia cells, thereby allowing for non-invasive bioluminescent monitoring of leukemia burden and assessment of therapeutic response using an in vivo bioluminescence imaging system. This strategy has been effective for evaluation of TKIs in vitro and in vivo and can be applied for identification of molecularly-targeted agents with therapeutic potential or for direct comparison and prioritization of multiple compounds.  相似文献

The non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Abl is activated in response to DNA damage and induces p73-dependent apoptosis. Here, we investigated c-Abl regulation of the homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2), an important regulator of p53-dependent apoptosis. c-Abl phosphorylated HIPK2 at several sites, and phosphorylation by c-Abl protected HIPK2 from degradation mediated by the ubiquitin E3 ligase Siah-1. c-Abl and HIPK2 synergized in activating p53 on apoptotic promoters in a reporter assay, and c-Abl was required for endogenous HIPK2 accumulation and phosphorylation of p53 at Ser46 in response to DNA damage by γ- and UV radiation. Accumulation of HIPK2 in nuclear speckles and association with promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) in response to DNA damage were also dependent on c-Abl activity. At high cell density, the Hippo pathway inhibits DNA damage-induced c-Abl activation. Under this condition, DNA damage-induced HIPK2 accumulation, phosphorylation of p53 at Ser46, and apoptosis were attenuated. These data demonstrate a new mechanism for the induction of DNA damage-induced apoptosis by c-Abl and illustrate network interactions between serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases that dictate cell fate.  相似文献

The enzyme adenosine kinase (AK) plays a key role in the regulation of intracellular and extracellular concentration of adenosine (Ado), which exhibits potent hormonal activity in cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. In view of the pharmacological effects of Ado, there is much interest in identifying inhibitors of AK, which can augment its tissue-protective effects. In this study, we have screened 1040 compounds from a chemical library of putative kinase inhibitors for their effect on purified human recombinant AK. These studies have identified 8 novel, non-nucleoside AK inhibitors. Four of these compounds (viz. 2-tert-butyl-4H-benzo[1,2,4]thiadiazine-3-thione (2759–0749); N-(5,6-diphenyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-propionamide (3998–0118); 3-[5,6-Bis-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylamino]-propan-1-ol (4072–2732); and 2-[2-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-fluoren-9-one (8008–6198)), which inhibited human AK in a concentration-dependent manner in a low micromolar range (IC50 = 0.38 ∼ 1.98 μM) were further studied. Kinetic and structural studies on these compounds provide evidence that inhibition of AK by these compounds was competitive with respect to Ado and non-competitive for ATP. All of these compounds also inhibited uptake of Ado and its metabolism in cultured mammalian cells at comparable concentrations indicating their efficient cellular penetrability. These AK inhibitors, whose chemical structures differ significantly from all previously known inhibitors, provide useful lead compounds for identification of more potent but less toxic AK inhibitors that may prove useful for therapeutic purposes.  相似文献

表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR)是一种具有酪氨酸激酶活性的重要跨膜受体,在多种恶性肿瘤中异常表达,与肿瘤细胞增殖、分化、转移等生命活动密切相关。EGFR已成为治疗肿瘤的靶点,针对该靶点设计的药物主要分为单克隆抗体和小分子抑制剂两大类,小分子抑制剂易导致EGFR出现突变而产生耐药现象,从而影响其临床应用。突变主要发生在酪氨酸激酶区域ATP结合位点附近,主要为19号外显子上的缺失突变,18号和21号外显子上的点突变。针对近几十年来国内外研究者对EGFR出现的耐药突变类型,及其与小分子抑制剂的相互作用方式进行综述,以期为后续EGFR靶点药物的研发提供参考。  相似文献

To investigate the roles of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in Echinoderms, we cloned starfish cDNAs for novel, atypical, and conventional PKCs. They showed highest homology with PKCδ, ι, and α isoforms respectively. It was predicted from the whole genome sequence and by RT-PCR that sea urchin has only one isoform of each PKC subgroups. It is thus likely that these isoforms are the prototypes or ancestors of the PKC subgroups. The phylogenetic tree suggests that atypical PKC was first formed by evolution from the common prototype of AGC protein kinase family, and novel and conventional PKCs next. RT-PCR analysis indicated that novel and atypical PKC mRNAs are expressed ubiquitously in all tissues of adult starfish, whereas conventional PKC mRNA is expressed mainly in the ovary and oocytes, and only slightly in the tube foot and stomach. Upon heterologous expression, only atypical PKC was expressed in the functional form in insect cells.  相似文献

The subcellular distribution of protein tyrosine kinase in rat forebrain was determined using [Val5]-angiotensin II as exogenous substrate. Enzyme activity was present in each of the fractions analyzed and was enriched in synaptic membranes (SMs) and the synaptosomal soluble fraction (2.2- and 2.5-fold over the homogenate, respectively). SMs also phosphorylated polyglutamyltyrosine (pGT; molar ratio of 4:1), the Vmax for angiotensin and pGT phosphorylation being 26.3 +/- 1.6 and 142 +/- 4 pmol/min/mg, respectively. Extraction of SMs with several different detergents resulted in enhanced enzyme activity and the solubilization of 33-37% of the angiotensin and 43-70% of the pGT-phosphorylating activity. Isolated postsynaptic densities (PSDs) contained tyrosine kinase and phosphorylated angiotensin and pGT. The Vmax values for angiotensin and pGT phosphorylation by PSDs were 17 +/- 5 and 23 +/- 1 pmol/min/mg, respectively. Six putative endogenous substrates for SM tyrosine kinase, with molecular weights of 205K, 180K, 76K, 60K, 50K, and 45K, were identified. Each of these proteins, except p76, was phosphorylated in the detergent-insoluble residue obtained following the extraction of SMs with Triton X-100 as well as in PSDs, indicating that the postsynaptic apparatus is an active site of tyrosine phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of p76 was localized to the Triton X-100 extract and also occurred in the synaptosomal soluble fraction. The results indicate that tyrosine kinase and its substrates are located in both pre- and postsynaptic compartments and suggest a role for this enzyme in synaptic function.  相似文献

The discovery of BCR/ABL as a driver oncogene in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) resulted in the development of Imatinib, which, in fact, demonstrated the potential of targeting the kinase in cancers by effectively treating the CML patients. This observation revolutionized drug development to target the oncogenic kinases implicated in various other malignancies, such as, EGFR, B-RAF, KIT and PDGFRs. However, one major drawback of anti-kinase therapies is the emergence of drug resistance mutations rendering the target to have reduced or lost affinity for the drug. Understanding the mechanisms employed by resistant variants not only helps in developing the next generation inhibitors but also gives impetus to clinical management using personalized medicine. We reported a retroviral vector based screening strategy to identify the spectrum of resistance conferring mutations in BCR/ABL, which has helped in developing the next generation BCR/ABL inhibitors. Using Ruxolitinib and JAK2 as a drug target pair, here we describe in vitro screening methods that utilizes the mouse BAF3 cells expressing the random mutation library of JAK2 kinase.  相似文献

Abstract: A rat brain cDNA clone has been isolated, using a eukaryotic cell transient expression system in conjunction with an anti-galactosylceramide (anti-GalCer) monoclonal antibody that induces GalCer expression in COS-7 cells. The protein was designated as GalCer expression factor-1 (GEF-1). A good correlation between GalCer expression and the level of the enzyme activity of UDP-galactose:ceramide galactosyltransferase (CGT) was demonstrated. The cDNA insert encoded a polypeptide of 771 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 85,787 Da. The cDNA hybridized to a single mRNA of 3.1 kb in all rat organs examined, including brain, testis, and skeletal muscle. The cDNA product was determined to be a tyrosine-phosphorylated protein with a molecular mass of 110 kDa in transfected COS-7 cells and adult rat brain. COS-7 cells transfected with the cDNA clone showed dramatic morphological changes: The transfected cells appeared to be fibroblast-like cells, whereas the parent COS-7 cells were typical epithelial-like cells. The deduced amino acid sequences revealed a strikingly high homology to a mouse hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate but no homology to CGT. Taking these results together, it is suggested that GEF-1 may play an important role in regulating GalCer expression in the brain.  相似文献

To determine whether protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) modulates volume-sensitive chloride current (I(Cl.vol)) in human atrial myocytes and to identify the PTKs involved, we studied the effects of broad-spectrum and selective PTK inhibitors and the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitor orthovanadate (VO(4)(-3)). I(Cl.vol) evoked by hyposmotic bath solution (0.6-times isosmotic, 0.6T) was enhanced by genistein, a broad-spectrum PTK inhibitor, in a concentration-dependent manner (EC(50) = 22.4 microM); 100 microM genistein stimulated I(Cl.vol) by 122.4 +/- 10.6%. The genistein-stimulated current was inhibited by DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 150 microM) and tamoxifen (20 microM), blockers of I(Cl.vol). Moreover, the current augmented by genistein was volume dependent; it was abolished by hyperosmotic shrinkage in 1.4T, and genistein did not activate Cl(-) current in 1T. In contrast to the stimulatory effects of genistein, 100 microM tyrphostin A23 (AG 18) and A25 (AG 82) inhibited I(Cl.vol) by 38.2 +/- 4.9% and 40.9 +/- 3.4%, respectively. The inactive analogs, daidzein and tyrphostin A63 (AG 43), did not alter I(Cl.vol). In addition, the PTP inhibitor VO(4)(-3) (1 mM) reduced I(Cl.vol) by 53.5 +/- 4.5% (IC(50) = 249.6 microM). Pretreatment with VO(4)(-3) antagonized genistein-induced augmentation and A23- or A25-induced suppression of I(Cl.vol). Furthermore, the selective Src-family PTK inhibitor PP2 (5 microM) stimulated I(Cl.vol), mimicking genistein, whereas the selective EGFR (ErbB-1) kinase inhibitor tyrphostin B56 (AG 556, 25 microM) reduced I(Cl.vol), mimicking A23 and A25. The effects of both PP2 and B56 also were substantially antagonized by pretreatment with VO(4)(-3). The results suggest that I(Cl.vol) is regulated in part by the balance between PTK and PTP activity. Regulation is complex, however. Src and EGFR kinases, distinct soluble and receptor-mediated PTK families, have opposing effects on I(Cl.vol), and multiple target proteins are likely to be involved.  相似文献

在报道视黄酸(RA)是人肝癌细胞株SMMC-7721分化诱导剂的基础上,本文继续报道8-溴-环磷酸腺苷对该细胞也有分化诱导作用,两者都抑制细胞的增殖,降低γ-谷氨酰转肽酶(γ-GT)比活力和升高(ALP)碱性磷酸酶的比活力。在10μmol/LRA和0.5mmol/L-8-Br-cAMP处理细胞1、3、5天后,胞液和膜性组分中的酪氨酸蛋白激酶(TPK)的比活力均降低,其中RA对胞液TPK的作用在早期较明显,约降低30%,而对膜性TPK的影响则随培养天数而逐渐增加,至第5天下降达50%以上。8Br-cAMP则相反,对胞浆TPK的抑制主要发生在3天以后;约抑制43—53%,而对膜性组分则抑制率逐日降低,在第一天较为明显。因TPK是一个细胞增殖恶变的标志,故RA和8-溴-cAMP对TPK的抑制进一步证明这两种分化诱导剂对SMMC-7721细胞的逆转作用。  相似文献
