Mutations in the FLT3 gene are the most common genetic alteration found in AML patients. FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations result in constitutive activation of FLT3 tyrosine kinase activity. The consequences of this activation are an increase in total phosphotyrosine content, persistent downstream signaling, and ultimately transformation of hematopoietic cells to factor-independent growth. The Src homology (SH)2 domain-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-1 is involved in the down-regulation of a broad range of growth factor and cytokine-driven signaling cascades. Loss-of-function or deficiency of SHP-1 activity results in a hyperproliferative response of myelomonocytic cell populations to growth factor stimulation. In this study, we examined the possible role of SHP-1 in regulating FLT3 signaling. We found that transformation of TF-1 cells with FLT3/ITD mutations suppressed the activity of SHP-1 by approximately 3-fold. Suppression was caused by decreased SHP-1 protein expression, as analyzed at both the protein and RNA levels. In contrast, protein levels of SHP-2, a phosphatase that plays a stimulatory role in signaling through a variety of receptors, did not change significantly in FLT3 mutant cells. Suppressed SHP-1 protein levels in TF-1/ITD cells were partially overcome after cells were exposed to CEP-701, a selective FLT3 inhibitor. SHP-1 protein levels also increased in naturally occurring FLT3/ITD expressing AML cell lines and in primary FLT3/ITD AML samples after CEP-701 treatment. Furthermore, a small but reproducible growth/survival advantage was observed in both TF-1 and TF-1/ITD cells when SHP-1 expression was knocked down by RNAi. Taken together, these data provide the first evidence that suppression of SHP-1 by FLT3/ITD signaling may be another mechanism contributing to the transformation by FLT3/ITD mutations. 相似文献

The luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin (LH/hCG) receptor, which belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors, plays an important role in gonadal steroidogenesis. Substitution of aspartic acid 556 of the LH/hCG receptor with glycine (D556G) creates a constitutively active receptor that activates adenylyl cyclase in the absence of hormone. To examine receptor internalization, human embryonic kidney cells (293 T) expressing wild type (WT) or D556G mutant receptors were incubated with [125I]hCG and subsequently analyzed for cell surface bound and internalized radioactivity. Comparison of the rate constants of internalization of the D556G mutant and WT receptors revealed that the rate of internalization of the D556G mutant was five times greater than that of the WT receptor. Although the D556G receptor internalizes [125I]hCG rapidly, a corresponding increase in [125I]hCG degradation was not seen. The internalization of another constitutively active LH/hCG receptor (aspartic acid 556 to tyrosine) was also greater than that of the WT receptor. Internalization of receptor bound [125I]hCG was inhibited by a hypertonic sucrose solution, confirming that the ligand enters the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Furthermore, the constitutively active D556G and D556Y LH/hCG receptors utilize the arrestin dependent internalization pathway. These results suggest that the active state conformation of the constitutively active receptor is conducive to rapid internalization. 相似文献

Over-expression of FoxM1 is associated with adverse prognosis and FLT3-ITD in acute myeloid leukemia
Long-long Liu Dong-hua Zhang Xia Mao Xin-hua Zhang Bing Zhang 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2014
Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) drives cell cycle progression and the prevention of growth arrest and is over-expressed in many human malignancies. However, the characteristics of FoxM1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are not clearly understood. We investigated the expression level of FoxM1 and analyzed the correlation of FoxM1 expression with AML patient characteristics and prognoses. Changes in FoxM1 expression were detected after MV4–11 cells, which have an internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene (FLT3-ITD), and control THP1 cells (encoding wild-type FLT3) were treated with the FLT3 receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor AC220 (quizartinib) or FLT3 ligand (FL). Finally, we determined the apoptosis rates after the addition of the FoxM1 inhibitor thiostrepton (TST) to AML cells with or without FLT3-ITD. The expression of FoxM1 in AML patients was correlated with the presence of FLT3-ITD, genetic groups, and possibly overall survival. Inhibition of FLT3-ITD by AC220 down-regulated FoxM1 expression in MV4–11 cells, and stimulation of FLT3 by FL up-regulated FoxM1 expression in MV4–11 and THP1 cells. TST induced the apoptosis of MV4–11 and THP1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, FoxM1 is a potential prognostic marker and a promising therapeutic target in AML. 相似文献

Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) is a growth factor receptor normally expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells. Approximately one third of all patients with AML carry an activating mutation in FLT3 that drives proliferation and survival of the leukemic cells. The most common activating mutation is the so-called internal tandem duplication (ITD), which involves an in-frame duplication of a segment of varying length in the region of the FLT3 gene that encodes the juxtamembrane domain. The pathways downstream of FLT3-ITD are partially known but further knowledge regarding the downstream signal transduction molecules is important in order to develop alternative strategies for pharmacological intervention.In this paper we have studied the role of MEK/ERK5 in FLT3-ITD mediated transformation. We have found that both wild-type FLT3 and FLT3-ITD activate MEK5 leading to the activation of ERK5. By use of the selective inhibitor of MEK5, BIX02188, we have shown that activation of AKT downstream of FLT3 is partially dependent on ERK5. Furthermore, inhibition of MEK5/ERK5 induces apoptosis of both FLT3-ITD transfected Ba/F3 cells as well as the FLT3-ITD carrying leukemic cell lines MV4-11 and MOLM-13. These results suggest that MEK5/ERK5 is important for FLT3-ITD induced hematopoietic transformation and may thus represent an alternative therapeutic target in the treatment of FLT3-ITD positive leukemia. 相似文献

Dendritic cell‐specific intercellular adhesion molecule‐3‐grabbing non‐integrin (DC‐SIGN), a C‐type lectin expressed on the plasma membrane by human immature dendritic cells, is a receptor for numerous viruses including Ebola, SARS and dengue. A controversial question has been whether DC‐SIGN functions as a complete receptor for both binding and internalization of dengue virus (DENV) or whether it is solely a cell surface attachment factor, requiring either hand‐off to another receptor or a co‐receptor for internalization. To examine this question, we used 4 cell types: human immature dendritic cells and NIH3T3 cells expressing either wild‐type DC‐SIGN or 2 internalization‐deficient DC‐SIGN mutants, in which either the 3 cytoplasmic internalization motifs are silenced by alanine substitutions or the cytoplasmic region is truncated. Using confocal and super‐resolution imaging and high content single particle tracking, we investigated DENV binding, DC‐SIGN surface transport, endocytosis, as well as cell infectivity. DC‐SIGN was found colocalized with DENV inside cells suggesting hand‐off at the plasma membrane to another receptor did not occur. Moreover, all 3 DC‐SIGN molecules on NIH3T3 cells supported cell infection. These results imply the involvement of a co‐receptor because cells expressing the internalization‐deficient mutants could still be infected. 相似文献

Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations within the FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) render the receptor constitutively active driving proliferation and survival in leukemic blasts. Expression of FLT3-ITD from the endogenous promoter in a murine knockin model results in progenitor expansion and a myeloproliferative neoplasm. In this study, we show that this expansion begins with overproliferation within a compartment of normally quiescent long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs), which become rapidly depleted. This depletion is reversible upon treatment with the small molecule inhibitor Sorafenib, which also ablates the disease. Although the normal LT-HSC has been defined as FLT3(-) by flow cytometric detection, we demonstrate that FLT3 is capable of playing a role within this compartment by examining the effects of constitutively activated FLT3-ITD. This indicates an important link between stem cell quiescence/homeostasis and myeloproliferative disease while also giving novel insight into the emergence of FLT3-ITD mutations in the evolution of leukemic transformation. 相似文献

Many of the mutations contributing to leukemogenesis in acute myeloid leukemia have been identified. A common activating mutation is an internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in the FLT3 gene that is found in approximately 25% of patients and confers a poor prognosis. FLT3 inhibitors have been developed and have some efficacy, but patients often relapse. Levels of FLT3 ligand (FL) are significantly elevated in patients during chemotherapy and may be an important component contributing to relapse. We used a mouse model to investigate the possible effect of FL expression on leukemogenesis involving FLT3-ITD mutations in an in vivo system. FLT3ITD/ITD FL−/− (knockout) mice had a statistically significant increase in survival compared with FLT3ITD/ITD FL+/+ (wildtype) mice, most of which developed a fatal myeloproliferative neoplasm. These findings suggest that FL levels may have prognostic significance in human patients. We also studied the effect of FL expression on survival in a FLT3-ITD NUP98–HOX13 (NHD13) fusion mouse model. These mice develop an aggressive leukemia with short latency. We asked whether FL expression played a similar role in this context. The NUP98-HOX13 FLT3ITD/wt FL−/− mice did not have a survival advantage, compared with NUP98-HOX13 FLT3ITD/wt FL+/+ mice (normal FL levels). The loss of the survival advantage of the FL knockout group in the NUP98–HOX13 model suggests that adding a second mutation changes the effect of FL expression in the context of more aggressive disease.Abbreviations: AML, acute myeloid leukemia; FL, FLT3 ligand; FLT3, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3; ITD, internal tandem duplication; MPN, myeloproliferative neoplasmFMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is normally activated by binding of its ligand (FL) to 2 FLT3 molecules, causing them to dimerize, autophosphorylate, and activate downstream targets.20,26,31 Although FL expression is relatively ubiquitous, the FLT3 receptor is found predominantly on hematopoietic cells and has an important role in hematopoiesis.6,13,24 Several mutations in the FLT3 gene can lead to constitutive activation that occurs independent of ligand binding and leads to activation of downstream targets; these mutations typically are found in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The most common mutation described in AML is an internal tandem duplication (ITD) that occurs in the juxtamembrane domain of FLT3. The ITD mutations vary in length,17,25 but these forms all constitutively activate FLT3 kinase activity to result in autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of its downstream targets.4,14,28,32 The ITD mutation is seen in approximately 25% of adult AML cases and is associated with a poor prognosis.18,19,23Despite the fact that FTL3-ITD is constitutively activated, some evidence indicates that FL may continue to play a role in FLT3 signaling and affect AML prognosis.35 Elevated plasma levels of FL have been reported in patients that have undergone chemotherapy.2,30 In addition, elevated levels of FL have been shown to increase the amount of FLT3 inhibitor needed to reduce the levels of phosphorylated FLT3-ITD in a cell line (Molm14) model.8,21,34 When a lentivirus was used to introduce a FLT3-ITD mutation into mouse embryonic fibroblast cells from FL-knockout mice, the addition of FL to the culture media resulted in an increase in the level of phosphorylated FLT3, further supporting the idea that FL may play a role in FLT3-ITD–associated AML.33 These previous models have all used cell lines, cultured cells, and plasma from patient samples to address the potential importance of FL expression in cases where an ITD mutation is present.Here we use primary hematopoietic cells from a combination of genetically engineered mouse models to investigate the role of FLT3 and FL in the pathogenesis of AML. The first model is a FLT3-ITD knockin mouse model with an 18-bp insertion in the juxtamembrane domain of FLT3 that was generated and characterized by our lab. This mouse model consistently and predictably develops myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) with moderately elevated WBC counts, splenomegaly, and myeloid expansion in the bone marrow, as evidenced by histopathologic changes and increased granulocytic/ monocytic fractions by flow cytometry.11 A small percentage (7%; 9 of 129) of the FLT3-ITD homozygous (FLT3ITD/ITD) mice spontaneously developed fully transformed leukemia.10 The second mouse model uses transgenic expression of a Nup98–Hox13 fusion (NHD13) that is expressed primarily in hematopoietic tissues. Mice that carry this mutation typically develop a myelodysplastic syndrome that often progresses to acute leukemia after a long lag time.12 When these mice were bred to our FLT3-ITD mice, the resulting double-mutant Nup98–Hox13 (NHD13) FLT3wt/ITD mice predominantly developed an AML with minimal differentiation and demonstrated a markedly shorter latency to disease. Interestingly, a subset of mice display loss of heterozygosity of the wildtype Flt3 allele in the bone marrow7 as occurs in a fraction of human FLT3-ITD AML patients.22,29 The third model is a FL-knockout mouse model that was developed at Immunex (Seattle, WA) and is currently commercially available. These mice have the majority of the FL extracellular domain coding region disrupted by insertion of a PKG–Neo cassette. These mice demonstrated reduced cellularity in the bone marrow and an overall reduction in hematopoietic precursors, especially of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages.16To examine the effect of FL expression on disease conferred by a FLT3-ITD mutation, we used 2 genetically engineered mouse models: the first is the model of MPN generated by the FLT3ITD/ITD mutation alone. The second was a leukemia model that is generated by the combination of a FLT3wt/ITD together with a NHD13 mutation. Into both of these models, we bred mice that were either wildtype for FL or that had FL knocked out. We then characterized survival and disease phenotype data from each cohort to ascertain the effect of FL expression on MPN and AML generated by FLT3-ITD expression. 相似文献

The internalization of proteins plays a key role in cell development, cell signaling and immunity. We have previously developed a specific hybridization internalization probe (SHIP) to quantitate the internalization of proteins and particles into cells. Herein, we extend the utility of SHIP to examine both the endocytosis and recycling of surface receptors using flow cytometry. SHIP was used to monitor endocytosis of membrane‐bound transferrin receptor (TFR) and its soluble ligand transferrin (TF). SHIP enabled measurements of the proportion of surface molecules internalized, the internalization kinetics and the proportion and rate of internalized molecules that recycle to the cell surface with time. Using this method, we have demonstrated the internalization and recycling of holo‐TF and an antibody against the TFR behave differently. This assay therefore highlights the implications of receptor internalization and recycling, where the internalization of the receptor‐antibody complex behaves differently to the receptor‐ligand complex. In addition, we observe distinct internalization patterns for these molecules expressed by different subpopulations of primary cells. SHIP provides a convenient and high throughput technique for analysis of trafficking parameters for both cell surface receptors and their ligands. 相似文献

Activating mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 are one of the most frequent somatic mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Internal tandem duplications of the juxtamembrane region of FLT3 (FLT3/ITD) constitutively activate survival and proliferation pathways, and are associated with a poor prognosis in AML. We suspected that alteration of small non-coding microRNA (miRNA) expression in these leukemia cells is involved in the transformation process and used miRNA microarrays to determine the miRNA signature from total RNA harvested from FLT3/ITD expressing FDC-P1 cells (FD-FLT3/ITD). This revealed that a limited set of miRNAs appeared to be affected by expression of FLT3/ITD compared to the control group consisting of FDC-P1 parental cells transfected with an empty vector (FD-EV). Among differentially expressed miRNAs, we selected miR-16, miR-21 and miR-223 to validate the microarray data by quantitative real-time RT-PCR showing a high degree of correlation. We further analyzed miR-16 expression with FLT3 inhibitors in FLT3/ITD expressing cells. MiR-16 was found to be one of most significantly down-regulated miRNAs in FLT3/ITD expressing cells and was up-regulated upon FLT3 inhibition. The data suggests that miR-16 is acting as a tumour suppressor gene in FLT3/ITD-mediated leukemic transformation. Whilst miR-16 has been reported to target multiple mRNAs, computer models from public bioinformatic resources predicted a potential regulatory mechanism between miR-16 and Pim-1 mRNA. In support of this interaction, miR-16 was shown to suppress Pim-1 reporter gene expression. Further, our data demonstrated that over-expression of miR-16 mimics suppressed Pim-1 expression in FD-FLT3/ITD cells suggesting that increased miR-16 expression contributes to depletion of Pim-1 after FLT3 inhibition and that miR-16 repression may be associated with up-regulated Pim-1 in FLT3/ITD expressing cells. 相似文献

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations result in constitutive activation of this receptor and have been shown to increase the risk of relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, substantial heterogeneity in clinical outcomes still exists within both the ITD mutated and unmutated AML subgroups, suggesting alternative mechanisms of disease relapse not accounted by FLT3 mutational status. Single cell network profiling (SCNP) is a multiparametric flow cytometry based assay that simultaneously measures, in a quantitative fashion and at the single cell level, both extracellular surface marker levels and changes in intracellular signaling proteins in response to extracellular modulators. We previously reported an initial characterization of FLT3 ITD-mediated signaling using SCNP. Herein SCNP was applied sequentially to two separate cohorts of samples collected from elderly AML patients at diagnosis. In the first (training) study, AML samples carrying unmutated, wild-type FLT3 (FLT3 WT) displayed a wide range of induced signaling, with a fraction having signaling profiles comparable to FLT3 ITD AML samples. Conversely, the FLT3 ITD AML samples displayed more homogeneous induced signaling, with the exception of patients with low (<40%) mutational load, which had profiles comparable to FLT3 WT AML samples. This observation was then confirmed in an independent (verification) cohort. Data from the second cohort were also used to assess the association between SCNP data and disease-free survival (DFS) in the context of FLT3 and nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutational status among patients who achieved complete remission (CR) to induction chemotherapy. The combination of SCNP read outs together with FLT3 and NPM1 molecular status improved the DFS prediction accuracy of the latter. Taken together, these results emphasize the value of comprehensive functional assessment of biologically relevant signaling pathways in AML as a basis for the development of highly predictive tests for guidance of post-remission therapy. 相似文献

Mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL, found in several myeloid neoplasms, lead to decreased ubiquitin ligase activity. In murine systems, these mutations are associated with cytokine‐independent proliferation, thought to result from the activation of hematopoietic growth receptors, including FLT3 and KIT. Using cell lines and primary patient cells, we compared the activity of a panel of FLT3 inhibitors currently being used or tested in AML patients and also evaluated the effects of inhibition of the non‐receptor tyrosine kinase, SYK. We show that FLT3 inhibitors ranging from promiscuous to highly targeted are potent inhibitors of growth of leukaemia cells expressing mutant CBL in vitro, and we demonstrate in vivo efficacy of midostaurin using mouse models of mutant CBL. Potentiation of effects of targeted FLT3 inhibition by SYK inhibition has been demonstrated in models of mutant FLT3‐positive AML and AML characterized by hyperactivated SYK. Here, we show that targeted SYK inhibition similarly enhances the effects of midostaurin and other FLT3 inhibitors against mutant CBL‐positive leukaemia. Taken together, our results support the notion that mutant CBL‐expressing myeloid leukaemias are highly sensitive to available FLT3 inhibitors and that this effect can be significantly augmented by optimum inhibition of SYK kinase. 相似文献

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) plays an important role in hematopoietic differentiation, and constitutively active FLT3 mutant proteins contribute to the development of acute myeloid leukemia. Little is known about the protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) affecting the signaling activity of FLT3. To identify such PTP, myeloid cells expressing wild type FLT3 were infected with a panel of lentiviral pseudotypes carrying shRNA expression cassettes targeting different PTP. Out of 20 PTP tested, expressed in hematopoietic cells, or presumed to be involved in oncogenesis or tumor suppression, DEP-1 (PTPRJ) was identified as a PTP negatively regulating FLT3 phosphorylation and signaling. Stable 32D myeloid cell lines with strongly reduced DEP-1 levels showed site-selective hyperphosphorylation of FLT3. In particular, the sites pTyr-589, pTyr-591, and pTyr-842 involved in the FLT3 ligand (FL)-mediated activation of FLT3 were hyperphosphorylated the most. Similarly, acute depletion of DEP-1 in the human AML cell line THP-1 caused elevated FLT3 phosphorylation. Direct interaction of DEP-1 and FLT3 was demonstrated by "substrate trapping" experiments showing association of DEP-1 D1205A or C1239S mutant proteins with FLT3 by co-immunoprecipitation. Moreover, activated FLT3 could be dephosphorylated by recombinant DEP-1 in vitro. Enhanced FLT3 phosphorylation in DEP-1-depleted cells was accompanied by enhanced FLT3-dependent activation of ERK and cell proliferation. Stable overexpression of DEP-1 in 32D cells and transient overexpression with FLT3 in HEK293 cells resulted in reduction of FL-mediated FLT3 signaling activity. Furthermore, FL-stimulated colony formation of 32D cells expressing FLT3 in methylcellulose was induced in response to shRNA-mediated DEP-1 knockdown. This transforming effect of DEP-1 knockdown was consistent with a moderately increased activation of STAT5 upon FL stimulation but did not translate into myeloproliferative disease formation in the 32D-C3H/HeJ mouse model. The data indicate that DEP-1 is negatively regulating FLT3 signaling activity and that its loss may contribute to but is not sufficient for leukemogenic cell transformation. 相似文献

Lestaurtinib, also called CEP‐701, is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase, causes haematological remission in patients with AML possessing FLT3‐ITD (FLT3 gene) internal tandem duplication and strongly inhibits tyrosine kinase FLT3. Treatment with lestaurtinib modulates various signalling pathways and leads to cell growth arrest and programmed cell death in several tumour types. However, the effect of lestaurtinib on glioma remains unclear. In this study, we examined lestaurtinib and TRAIL interactions in glioma cells and observed their synergistic activity on glioma cell apoptosis. While U87 and U251 cells showed resistance to TRAIL single treatment, they were sensitized to apoptosis induced by TRAIL in the presence of lestaurtinib because of increased death receptor 5 (DR5) levels through CHOP‐dependent manner. We also demonstrated using a xenograft model of mouse that the tumour growth was absolutely suppressed because of the combined treatment compared to TRAIL or lestaurtinib treatment carried out singly. Our findings reveal a potential new strategy to improve antitumour activity induced by TRAIL in glioma cells using lestaurtinib through a mechanism dependent on CHOP. 相似文献

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by fast progression and low survival rates, in which Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) receptor mutations have been identified as a driver mutation in cancer progression in a subgroup of AML patients. Clinical trials have shown emergence of drug resistant mutants, emphasizing the ongoing need for new chemical matter to enable the treatment of this disease. Here, we present the discovery and topological structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of analogs of isoquinolinesulfonamide H-89, a well-known PKA inhibitor, as FLT3 inhibitors. Surprisingly, we found that the SAR was not consistent with the observed binding mode of H-89 in PKA. Matched molecular pair analysis resulted in the identification of highly active sub-nanomolar azaindoles as novel FLT3-inhibitors. Structure based modelling using the FLT3 crystal structure suggested an alternative, flipped binding orientation of the new inhibitors. 相似文献

It is well known the dimerization state of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), in conjunction with binding partners such as the growth factor receptor bound protein 7 (Grb7) protein, plays an important role in cell signaling regulation. Previously, we proposed, downstream of RTKs, that the phosphorylation state of Grb7SH2 domain tyrosine residues could control Grb7 dimerization, and dimerization may be an important regulatory step in Grb7 binding to RTKs. In this manner, additional dimerization‐dependent regulation could occur downstream of the membrane‐bound kinase in RTK‐mediated signaling pathways. Extrapolation to the full‐length (FL) Grb7 protein, and the ability to test this hypothesis further, has been hampered by the availability of large quantities of pure and stable FL protein. Here, we report the biophysical characterization of the FL Grb7 protein and also a mutant representing a tyrosine‐phosphorylated Grb7 protein form. Through size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation, we show the phosphorylated‐tyrosine‐mimic Y492E‐FL‐Grb7 protein (Y492E‐FL‐Grb7) is essentially monomeric at expected physiological concentrations. It has been shown previously the wild‐type FL Grb7(WT‐FLGrb7) protein is dimeric with a dissociation constant (Kd) of approximately 11μM. Our studies here measure a FL protein dimerization Kd of WT‐FL‐Grb7 within one order of magnitude at approximately 1μM. The approximate size and shape of the WT‐FL‐Grb7 in comparison the tyrosine‐phosphorylation mimic Y492E‐FL‐Grb7 protein was determined by dynamic light scattering methods. In vitro phosphorylation of the Grb7SH2 domain indicates only one of the available tyrosine residues is phosphorylated, suggesting the same phosphorylation pattern could be relevant in the FL protein. The biophysical characterization studies in total are interpreted with a view towards understanding the functionally active Grb7 protein conformation. 相似文献

The internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the juxtamembrane region of the FLT3 receptor has been associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). How this elevated level of ROS contributes to the leukemic phenotype, however, remains poorly understood. In this work we show that ROS in the FLT3-ITD expressing AML cell line MV4-11 is reduced by treatment with PKC412, an inhibitor of FLT3, DPI, a flavoprotein inhibitor, and VAS2870, a Nox specific inhibitor, suggesting that ROS production is both FLT3 and NADPH oxidase dependent. The majority of these ROS co-localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as determined with the H(2)O(2)-specific aryl-boronate dye Peroxyorange 1, which also corresponds to co-localization of p22phox. Moreover, knocking down p22phox dramatically reduces H(2)O(2) after 24 hours in the ER, without affecting mitochondrial ROS. Significantly, the FLT3 inhibitor PKC412 reduces H(2)O(2) in FLT3-ITD expressing cell lines (MV4-11, MOLM-13) through reduction of p22phox over 24 hours. Reduced p22phox is achieved by proteasomal degradation and is prevented upon GSK3-β inhibition. Knockdown of p22phox resulted in reduced STAT5 signalling and reduced Pim-1 levels in the cells after 24 hours. Thus, we have shown that FLT3 driven H(2)O(2) production in AML cells is mediated by p22phox and is critical for STAT5 signalling. 相似文献

Endocytosis of Eph receptors is critical for a number of biological processes, including modulating axon growth cone collapse response and regulating cell surface levels of receptor in epithelial cells. In particular, ephrin-A ligand stimulation of tumor cells induces EphA2 receptor internalization and degradation, a process that has been explored as a means to reduce tumor malignancy. However, the mechanism and regulation of ligand-induced Eph receptor internalization are not well understood. Here we show that SHIP2 (Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase 2) is recruited to activated EphA2 via a heterotypic sterile alpha motif (SAM)-SAM domain interaction, leading to regulation of EphA2 internalization. Overexpression of SHIP2 inhibits EphA2 receptor endocytosis, whereas suppression of SHIP2 expression by small interfering RNA-mediated gene silencing promotes ligand-induced EphA2 internalization and degradation. SHIP2 regulates EphA2 endocytosis via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent Rac1 activation. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate levels are significantly elevated in SHIP2 knockdown cells, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor decreases phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate levels and suppresses increased EphA2 endocytosis. Ephrin-A1 stimulation activates Rac1 GTPase, and the Rac1-GTP levels are further increased in SHIP2 knockdown cells. A dominant negative Rac1 GTPase effectively inhibited ephrin-A1-induced EphA2 endocytosis. Together, our findings provide evidence that recruitment of SHIP2 to EphA2 attenuates a positive signal to receptor endocytosis mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Rac1 GTPase. 相似文献
