Shc proteins are targets of activated tyrosine kinases and are implicated in the transmission of activation signals to Ras. The p46shc and p52shc isoforms share a C-terminal SH2 domain, a proline- and glycine-rich region (collagen homologous region 1; CH1) and a N-terminal PTB domain. We have isolated cDNAs encoding for a third Shc isoform, p66shc. The predicted amino acid sequence of p66shc overlaps that of p52shc and contains a unique N-terminal region which is also rich in glycines and prolines (CH2). p52shc/p46shc is found in every cell type with invariant reciprocal relationship, whereas p66shc expression varies from cell type to cell type. p66shc differs from p52shc/p46shc in its inability to transform mouse fibroblasts in vitro. Like p52shc/p46shc, p66shc is tyrosine-phosphorylated upon epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation, binds to activated EGF receptors (EGFRs) and forms stable complexes with Grb2. However, unlike p52shc/p46shc it does not increase EGF activation of MAP kinases, but inhibits fos promoter activation. The isolated CH2 domain retains the inhibitory effect of p66shc on the fos promoter. p52shc/p46shc and p66shc, therefore, appear to exert different effects on the EGFR-MAP kinase and other signalling pathways that control fos promoter activity. Regulation of p66shc expression might, therefore, influence the cellular response to growth factors.  相似文献

Nanomolar concentrations of Taxol, and other antimitotic agents that interact with microtubules, mediate serine phosphorylation of the 66-kDa Shc isoform (p66shc) in A549 human lung carcinoma cells, 9-18 h after drug treatment. This event coincides with the release of PARP cleavage fragments that are early indicators of apoptosis. Taxol-induced serine phosphorylation of p66shc results from a MEK-independent signaling pathway that is activated in A549 cells that have a prolonged or abnormal mitotic phase of the cell cycle [Cancer Res. 60 (2000) 5171]. In contrast, in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, micromolar concentrations of Taxol but not other microtubule-interacting agents induced serine phosphorylation of p66shc that correlated with the phosphorylation of Raf-1 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2), within 15-30 min after Taxol treatment. This event also was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The MEK-inhibitor, U0126, that specifically inhibits the activation of ERK also blocked the phosphorylation of p66shc and Raf-1, suggesting that these processes were MEK-dependent, quite different from that which was observed in A549 cells. Taxol also induced phosphorylation of p38 and JNK MAP kinases within 8-15 min after drug treatment. It is known that Taxol, but not other microtubule-interacting agents, induces the production of cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in mouse macrophages. The time course of Taxol-induced TNF-alpha expression coincides with that of Taxol-induced p66shc phosphorylation, and U0126 inhibits significantly Taxol-induced TNF-alpha expression in RAW 264.7 cells. Our data indicate that the Taxol-induced serine phosphorylation of p66shc in RAW 264.7 cells is microtubule-independent and may be related to increased TNF-alpha expression after Taxol and LPS treatment. It is concluded that the mechanisms involved in Taxol-induced p66shc phosphorylation are distinct in A549 and RAW 264.7 cells.  相似文献

Our previous studies have indicated an essential role of p52shc in mediating IGF-I activation of MAPK in smooth muscle cells (SMC). However, the role of the p66 isoform of shc in IGF-I signal transduction is unclear. In the current study, two approaches were employed to investigate the role of p66shc in mediating IGF-I signaling. Knockdown p66shc by small interfering RNA enhanced IGF-I-stimulated p52shc tyrosine phosphorylation and growth factor receptor-bound protein-2 (Grb2) association, resulting in increased IGF-I-dependent MAPK activation. This was associated with enhanced IGF-I-stimulated cell proliferation. In contrast, knockdown of p66shc did not affect IGF-I-stimulated IGF-I receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. Overexpression of p66shc impaired IGF-I-stimulated p52shc tyrosine phosphorylation and p52shc-Grb2 association. In addition, IGF-I-dependent MAPK activation was also impaired, and SMC proliferation in response to IGF-I was inhibited. IGF-I-dependent cell migration was enhanced by p66shc knockdown and attenuated by p66shc overexpression. Mechanistic studies indicated that p66shc inhibited IGF-I signal transduction via competitively inhibiting the binding of Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP-2) to SHP substrate-1 (SHPS-1), leading to the disruption of SHPS-1/SHP-2/Src/p52shc complex formation, an event that has been shown previously to be essential for p52shc phosphorylation and Grb2 recruitment. These findings indicate that p66shc functions to negatively regulate the formation of a signaling complex that is required for p52shc activation in response to IGF-I, thus leading to attenuation of IGF-I-stimulated cell proliferation and migration.  相似文献

Signals downstream of growth factor receptors play an important role in mammary carcinogenesis. Recently, we demonstrated that the small GTPases ARF1 and ARF6 were shown to be activated downstream of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and act as a key regulator of growth, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells. However, the mechanism via which the EGFR recruits and activates ARF1 and ARF6 to transmit signals has yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we identify adaptor proteins Grb2 and p66Shc as important regulators mediating ARF activation. We demonstrate that ARF1 can be found in complex with Grb2 and p66Shc upon EGF stimulation of the basal-like breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line. However, we report that these two adaptors regulate ARF1 activation differently, with Grb2 promoting ARF1 activation and p66Shc blocking this response. Furthermore, we show that Grb2 is essential for the recruitment of ARF1 to the EGFR, whereas p66Shc hindered ARF1 receptor recruitment. We demonstrate that the negative regulatory role of p66Shc stemmed from its ability to block the recruitment of Grb2/ARF1 to the EGFR. Conversely, p66Shc potentiates ARF6 activation as well as the recruitment of this ARF isoform to the EGFR. Interestingly, we demonstrate that Grb2 is also required for the activation and receptor recruitment of ARF6. Additionally, we show an important role for p66Shc in modulating ARF activation, cell growth, and migration in HER2-positive breast cancer cells. Together, our results highlight a central role for adaptor proteins p66Shc and Grb2 in the regulation of ARF1 and ARF6 activation in invasive breast cancer cells.  相似文献

Receptor-linked class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) induce assembly of signal transduction complexes through protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions that mediate cell proliferation, survival, and migration. Although class II PI3Ks have the potential to make the same phosphoinositides as class I PI3Ks, their precise cellular role is currently unclear. In this report, we demonstrate that class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2beta (PI3KC2beta) associates with the Eps8/Abi1/Sos1 complex and is recruited to the EGF receptor as part of a multiprotein signaling complex also involving Shc and Grb2. Increased expression of PI3KC2beta stimulated Rac activity in A-431 epidermoid carcinoma cells, resulting in enhanced membrane ruffling and migration speed of the cells. Conversely, expression of dominant negative PI3KC2beta reduced Rac activity, membrane ruffling, and cell migration. Moreover, PI3KC2beta-overexpressing cells were protected from anoikis and displayed enhanced proliferation, independently of Rac function. Taken together, these findings suggest that PI3KC2beta regulates the migration and survival of human tumor cells by distinct molecular mechanisms.  相似文献

Metastatic castration-resistant (CR) prostate cancer (PCa) is a lethal disease for which no effective treatment is currently available. p66Shc is an oxidase previously shown to promote androgen-independent cell growth through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is elevated in clinical PCa and multiple CR PCa cell lines. We hypothesize p66Shc also increases the migratory activity of PCa cells through ROS and investigate the associated mechanism. Using the transwell assay, our study reveals that the level of p66Shc protein correlates with cell migratory ability across several PCa cell lines. Furthermore, we show hydrogen peroxide treatment induces migration of PCa cells that express low levels of p66Shc in a dose-dependent manner, while antioxidants inhibit migration. Conversely, PCa cells that express high levels of endogenous p66Shc or by cDNA transfection possess increased cell migration which is mitigated upon p66Shc shRNA transfection or expression of oxidase-deficient dominant-negative p66Shc W134F mutant. Protein microarray and immunoblot analyses reveal multiple proteins, including ErbB-2, AKT, mTOR, ERK, FOXM1, PYK2 and Rac1, are activated in p66Shc-elevated cells. Their involvement in PCa migration was examined using respective small-molecule inhibitors. The role of Rac1 was further validated using cDNA transfection and, significantly, p66Shc is found to promote lamellipodia formation through Rac1 activation. In summary, the results of our current studies clearly indicate p66Shc also regulates PCa cell migration through ROS-mediated activation of migration-associated proteins, notably Rac1.  相似文献

p66Shc, a longevity adaptor protein, is demonstrated as a key regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism involved in aging and cardiovascular diseases. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates endothelial cell (EC) migration and proliferation primarily through the VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2). We have shown that ROS derived from Rac1-dependent NADPH oxidase are involved in VEGFR2 autophosphorylation and angiogenic-related responses in ECs. However, a role of p66Shc in VEGF signaling and physiological responses in ECs is unknown. Here we show that VEGF promotes p66Shc phosphorylation at Ser36 through the JNK/ERK or PKC pathway as well as Rac1 binding to a nonphosphorylated form of p66Shc in ECs. Depletion of endogenous p66Shc with short interfering RNA inhibits VEGF-induced Rac1 activity and ROS production. Fractionation of caveolin-enriched lipid raft demonstrates that p66Shc plays a critical role in VEGFR2 phosphorylation in caveolae/lipid rafts as well as downstream p38MAP kinase activation. This in turn stimulates VEGF-induced EC migration, proliferation, and capillary-like tube formation. These studies uncover a novel role of p66Shc as a positive regulator for ROS-dependent VEGFR2 signaling linked to angiogenesis in ECs and suggest p66Shc as a potential therapeutic target for various angiogenesis-dependent diseases.  相似文献

The fully executed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/Ras/MEK/ERK pathway serves a pro-survival role in renal epithelia under moderate oxidative stress. We and others have demonstrated that during severe oxidative stress, however, the activated EGFR is disconnected from ERK activation in cultured renal proximal tubule cells and also in renal proximal tubules after ischemia/reperfusion injury, resulting in necrotic death. Studies have shown that the tyrosine-phosphorylated p46/52 isoforms of the ShcA family of adaptor proteins connect the activated EGFR to activation of Ras and ERK, whereas the p66(shc) isoform can inhibit this p46/52(shc) function. Here, we determined that severe oxidative stress (after a brief period of activation) terminates activation of the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway, which coincides with ERK/JNK-dependent Ser(36) phosphorylation of p66(shc). Isoform-specific knockdown of p66(shc) or mutation of Ser(36) to Ala, but not to Asp, attenuated severe oxidative stress-mediated ERK inhibition and cell death in vitro. Also, severe oxidative stress (unlike ligand stimulation and moderate oxidative stress, both of which support survival) increased binding of p66(shc) to the activated EGFR and Grb2. This binding dissociated the SOS1 adaptor protein from the EGFR-recruited signaling complex, leading to termination of Ras/MEK/ERK activation. Notably, Ser(36) phosphorylation of p66(shc) and its increased binding to the EGFR also occurred in the kidney after ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo. At the same time, SOS1 binding to the EGFR declined, similar to the in vitro findings. Thus, the mechanism we propose in vitro offers a means to ameliorate oxidative stress-induced cell injury by either inhibiting Ser(36) phosphorylation of p66(shc) or knocking down p66(shc) expression in vivo.  相似文献

The rac1 GTPase and the p66shc adaptor protein regulate intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We examined the relationship between rac1 and p66shc. Expression of constitutively active rac1 (rac1V12) increased phosphorylation, reduced ubiquitination, and increased stability of p66shc protein. Rac1V12-induced phosphorylation and up-regulation of p66shc was suppressed by inhibiting p38MAPK and was dependent on serine 54 and threonine 386 in p66shc. Phosphorylation of recombinant p66shc by p38MAPK in vitro was also partly dependent on serine 54 and threonine 386. Reconstitution of p66shc in p66shc-null fibroblasts increased intracellular ROS generated by rac1V12, which was significantly dependent on the integrity of residues 54 and 386. Overexpression of p66shc increased rac1V12-induced apoptosis, an effect that was also partly dependent on serine 54 and threonine 386. Finally, RNA interference-mediated down-regulation of endogenous p66shc suppressed rac1V12-induced cell death. These findings identify p66shc as a mediator of rac1-induced oxidative stress. In addition, they suggest that serine 54 and threonine 386 are novel phosphorylatable residues in p66shc that govern rac1-induced increase in its expression, through a decrease in its ubiquitination and degradation, and thereby mediate rac1-stimulated cellular oxidative stress and death.  相似文献

We have previously reported the association of tumor cell invasion with expression of growth factor receptor-bound protein 7 (Grb7). This molecule contains a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and shares structural homology with a cell migration molecule designated Mig-10 found in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the present study, Grb7 expression was analyzed in human esophageal carcinomas with or without metastatic spread. The Grb7 protein was overexpressed in 14 of 31 esophageal carcinomas as compared to the adjacent normal mucosa (45%) and this finding was significantly correlated with the presence of lymph node metastases. We also identified that Grb7 protein in esophageal carcinoma cells was phosphorylated on tyrosine by epidermal growth factor as well as attachment to extracellular matrix proteins including fibronectin. Such fibronectin-dependent phosphorylation of Grb7 was regulated by integrin signaling that leads to the interaction with focal adhesion kinase protein. Furthermore, ectopic expression of a Grb7-SH2 dominant-negative fragment inhibited the fibronectin-dependent phosphorylation of endogenous Grb7, and reduced migration of esophageal carcinoma cells into fibronectin. Our results suggest a role of Grb7 mediated signal transduction in generation of an invasive cell phenotype against extracellular matrix, and thus contributes to metastatic progression of human esophageal carcinoma.  相似文献

The two SH3 domains and one SH2 domain containing adaptor protein Grb2 is an essential element of the Ras signaling pathway in multiple systems. The SH2 domain of Grb2 recognizes and interacts with phosphotyrosine residues on activated tyrosine kinases, whereas the SH3 domains bind to several proline-rich domain-containing proteins such as Sos1. To define the difference in Grb2-associated proteins in hepatocarcinoma cells, we performed coprecipitation analysis using recombinant GST-Grb2 fusion proteins and found that several protein components (p170, p125, p100, and p80) differently associated with GST-Grb2 proteins in human Chang liver and hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. Sos1 and p80 proteins dominantly bind to Grb2 fusion proteins in Chang liver, whereas p100 remarkably associate with Grb2 in HepG2 cells. Also GST-Grb2 SH2 proteins exclusively bound to the p46(Shc), p52(Shc), and p66(Shc) are important adaptors of the Ras pathway in HepG2 cells. The p100 protein has been identified as dynamin II. We observed that the N-SH3 and C-SH3 domains of Grb2 fusion proteins coprecipitated with dynamin II besides Sos1. These results suggest that dynamin II may be a functional molecule involved in Grb2-mediated signaling pathway on Ras activation for tumor progression and differentiation of hepatocarcinoma cells.  相似文献

Background  

Aurora kinases and loss of p53 function are implicated in the carcinogenesis of aneuploid esophageal cancers. Their association with occurrence of multipolar mitoses in the two main histotypes of aneuploid esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and Barrett's adenocarcinoma (BAC) remains unclear. Here, we investigated the occurrence of multipolar mitoses, Aurora-A/-B gene copy numbers and expression/activation as well as p53 alterations in aneuploid ESCC and BAC cancer cell lines.  相似文献

Cancer chemopreventive response to D,L-sulforaphane (SFN), a synthetic racemic analogue of broccoli constituent L-sulforaphane, is partly attributable to apoptosis induction, but the mechanism of cell death is not fully understood. The present study demonstrates a critical role for adapter protein p66(Shc) in SFN-induced apoptosis. Immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) derived from p66(shc) knockout mice were significantly more resistant to SFN-induced apoptosis, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared with MEF obtained from the wild-type mice. Notably, a spontaneously immortalized and non-tumorigenic human mammary epithelial cell line (MCF-10A) was resistant to SFN-induced ROS production and apoptosis. Stable overexpression of manganese superoxide dismutase in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells conferred near complete protection against SFN-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse. SFN treatment resulted in increased S36 phosphorylation and mitochondrial translocation of p66(shc) in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, and SFN-induced apoptosis was significantly attenuated by RNA interference of p66(shc) in both cells. SFN-treated MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells also exhibited a marked decrease in protein level of peptidyl prolyl isomerase (Pin1), which is implicated in mitochondrial translocation of p66(shc) . However, stable overexpression of Pin1 failed to alter proapoptotic response to SFN at least in MCF-7 cells. Finally, SFN-induced S36 phosphorylation of p66(Shc) was mediated by protein kinase Cβ (PKCβ), and pharmacological inhibition of PKCβ significantly inhibited apoptotic cell death resulting from SFN exposure. In conclusion, the present study provides new insight into the mechanism of SFN-induced apoptosis involving PKCβ -mediated S36 phosphorylation of p66(shc).  相似文献

Hypercholesterolemia characterized by elevation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease. p66shc mediates hypercholesterolemia-induced endothelial dysfunction and atheromatous plaque formation. We asked if LDL upregulates endothelial p66shc via changes in the epigenome and examined the role of p66shc in LDL-stimulated endothelial cell dysfunction. Human LDL stimulates human p66shc promoter activity and p66shc expression in human endothelial cells. LDL leads to hypomethylation of two CpG dinucleotides and acetylation of histone 3 in the human p66shc promoter. These two CpG dinucleotides mediate LDL-stimulated p66shc promoter activity. Inhibition or knock down of DNA methyltransferases negates LDL-induced endothelial p66shc expression. p66shc mediates LDL-stimulated increase in expression of endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) and decrease in expression of thrombomodulin (TM). Mirroring these changes in ICAM1 and TM expression, p66shc mediates LDL-stimulated adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells and plasma coagulation on endothelial cells. These findings indicate that LDL cholesterol upregulates human endothelial p66shc expression via hypomethylation of CpG dinucleotides in the p66shc promoter. Moreover, they show that LDL-stimulated p66shc expression mediates a dysfunctional endothelial cell surface, with proadhesive and procoagulant features.  相似文献

微丝结合蛋白是微丝细胞骨架的重要组成成分,它们通过促进微丝的聚合和解聚来影响微丝的动力学。大量研究已经表明,微丝和微丝结合蛋白参与细胞癌变的所有阶段。我们通过对食管癌蛋白质组数据挖掘结果显示,微丝结合蛋白Eps15同源结构域包含蛋白2(EHD2)在食管癌组织中低表达,且EHD2低表达的食管癌患者预后不良。以往的研究已经证明,EHD2参与调控糖代谢、自噬和肿瘤迁移。然而,EHD2在食管癌进展中的作用和机制仍不清楚。本研究旨在探究EHD2在食管鳞癌细胞中的影响及其作用机制。免疫荧光和细胞组分分离结果显示,EHD2 不仅定位于细胞膜和细胞质,还存在于细胞核中。使用克隆形成实验、EdU细胞增殖实验和细胞流式术检测EHD2对食管鳞癌细胞增殖能力的影响。结果显示,过表达EHD2 和EHD2-3×NLS(核定位信号)抑制食管鳞癌细胞增殖和细胞周期G1/S转换;同时,双荧光素报告基因结果显示,过表达EHD2 和EHD2-3×NLS抑制Wnt 信号通路活性。而siRNA敲降则获得相反的结果。免疫共沉淀和Duolink-PLA实验证明,EHD2与Wnt信号通路关键分子β-连环蛋白(β-catenin)和T细胞因子3(T-cell factor 3,TCF3)相互作用。蛋白质印迹和荧光定量PCR结果证实,过表达EHD2 和EHD2-3×NLS抑制TCF3下游与增殖和细胞周期相关的靶基因的转录,以及细胞周期蛋白D1(cyclin D1)、细胞周期蛋白激酶4(CDK4)和pRb的蛋白质表达。以上结果表明,核EHD2与β-catenin和TCF3 复合体相互作用,通过Cyclin D1-CDK4-pRb信号轴来调控食管鳞癌细胞的增殖和细胞周期进程。  相似文献
