Abstract: | To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which human epidermal growth factor receptor/heregulin (HER2/HRG) influence the migratory potential of breast cancer cells, we have used phospho-specific antibodies against c-Src kinase and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). This study establishes that HER2/HRG signaling selectively upregulates Tyr phosphorylation of c-Src at Tyr-215 located within the SH2 domain, increases c-Src kinase activity and selectively upregulates Tyr phosphorylation of FAK at Tyr-861. HER2-overexpressing tumors showed increased levels of c-Src phosphorylation at Tyr-215. These findings suggest that HER2/HRG influence metastasis of breast cancer cells through a novel signaling pathway involving phosphorylation of FAK tyrosine 861 via activation of c-Src tyrosine 215. |
