The role of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B in Ras signaling
Dubeet al. (2004) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101, 1834-1839
Protein Tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs)
• ~30 PTPs in human genome
• Remove phosphorylation from tyrosine residues
Recall
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)
• Removes phosphorylation from tyrosine residues
•Negative regulator or several RTKs
•A regulator of metabolism
•Reduces insulin, leptin and growth hormone signaling
•>30 protein tyrosine kinases linked to malignant transformation and cancer
•Overexpression and/or mutations
Thus, if down-regulate dephosphorylation events- predict increased cancer
The question- If inhibit dephosphorylation, will cancer increase??
Background
PTP1B
Recall Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)
Background
•If inhibit PTP1B - Will cancer increase??
ERK
1- Is receptor tyrosine phosphorylation increased?
3- Is Ras activated?
2- Is cell proliferation increased?
4. Is p120RasGAP activated?
5. Is p120RasGAP mRNA increased as well?
In PTPB1-/ - mice….
6. Is p120RasGAP 1 a substrate of PTP1B??
AKT
•PTPB1 deficient mice (PTPB1-/ -) are resistance to diabetes and obesity
Evidence
• IGF-1, EGF and PDGF receptor levels increase in PTPB1-/- mice
But… no increased tumorigenesis observed
Why the discrepancy??
•Cell-specific differences in RTKs?•Tumorigenesis progression, but not initiation increased?•PTP1B activates oncogenesis downstream of RTKs
…But will PTPB1-/ - mice have increased tumor production?
Possibilities
Background
Fig. 1. Differential regulation of PDGF-
signaling pathways by PTP1B
cellular tyrosine phosphorylation increased
PDGF stimulation:
AKT phosphorylation increased (more in PTP1B-/- cells)
Erk phosphorylation decreased in PTP1B knockout cells
Conclude- PTP1B seems be selective
Is tyrosine receptor phosphorylation increased in PTPB1-/ - mice?
Thus, some proteims are (AKT), some aren’t (ERK)
WT KO
ERK AKT
Primary Ab (Rabbit Anti-1-antitrypsin)
A1-antitrypsin
Secondary Ab(Anti-rabbit Ab)
Alkaline peroxidase
Components of a Western analysis
Polyacrylamide gel elecrophoresis, transfer to nylon

1. Protein separation
2. Detection
1-AT protein

2- Is cell proliferation increased?
Answer- No, actually decreased.

Fig. 2. Decreased cell growth and Ras activity of SV40 TAg transformed fibroblasts lacking PTP1B
PDGFR expression is increased in PTP1B-/- cells
diminished Ras-GTP levels In PTP1B-/- cells
3- Is Ras activated in PTPB1-/ - mice?
Answer- No, actually decreased activity.
Fig. 3. PTP1B-deficient cells display increased p120RasGAP expression
Answer- Expression levels of the adapter proteins Shc or Grb2, or the kinases (Src and Erk) (data not shown)
What is not changed in PTPB1-/- cells?
p120RasGAP elevated…
…but p190RhoGAP unchanged
p120RasGAP decreased when re-introduce PTP1B
What is changed?
…but no effect on another knockout cell line
•Elevated in PTPB1-/- cells
•Normal levels when introduce in PTPB1 gene into cells
Fig. 3. PTP1B-deficient cells display increased p120RasGAP expression
p120RasGAP mRNA is
elevated in two
independent cell lines
Is p120RasGAP mRNA increased as well?
Carry out RT-PCR reaction…
SV40-immortalizedSpontaneously -immortalized
…then load product onto agarose gel electrophoresis
Conclude: PTPB1 suppresses RasGAP gene expression
Fig. 4. p62Dok is a putative substrate of PTP1B
Question- Is p120RasGAP 1 a substrate of PTP1B??
GST-PTPB1Glutothione
Wash away unbound
Load bound onto gel
Use antibodies to detect what binds PTPB1
Conclude- No, but p62Dok is.

If introduce dominant active Ras mutant (V12Ras)….
….can transform fibroblasts, even in
the absence of PTP1B.

Will Ras activation alone really cause cell proliferation?

Fig. 6. Model of impaired Ras signaling in PTP1B-deficient fibroblasts
p120RasGAP expression and p62Dok phosphorylation are increased
Conclusions:
ERK
1- Is receptor tyrosine phosphorylation increased?
3- Is Ras activated?
2- Is cell proliferation increased?
