In this report, we demonstrate that insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2) is phosphorylated on tyrosine following treatment of UT-7 cells with erythropoietin. We have investigated the expression of IRS-1 and IRS-2 in several cell lines with erythroid and/or megakaryocytic features, and we observed that IRS-2 was expressed in all cell lines tested. In contrast, we did not detect the expression of IRS-1 in these cells. In response to erythropoietin, IRS-2 was immediately phosphorylated on tyrosine, with maximal phosphorylation between 1 and 5 min. Tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS-2 was associated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and with a 140-kDa protein that comigrated with the phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase, SHIP. Moreover, IRS-2 was constitutively associated with the erythropoietin receptor. We did not observe the association of IRS-2 with JAK2, Grb2, or PTP1D. Using BaF3 cells transfected with mutated erythropoietin receptors, we demonstrate that neither the tyrosine residues of the intracellular domain nor the last 109 amino acids of the erythropoietin receptor are required for erythropoietin-induced IRS-2 tyrosine phosphorylation. Altogether, our results indicate that erythropoietin-induced IRS-2 tyrosine phosphorylation could account for the previously reported activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase mediated by erythropoietin receptors mutated in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-binding site (Damen, J., Cutler, R. L., Jiao, H., Yi, T., and Krystal, G. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 23402-23406; Gobert, S., Porteu, F., Pallu, S., Muller, O., Sabbah, M., Dusanter-Fourt, I., Courtois, G., Lacombe, C., Gisselbrecht, S., and Mayeux, P. (1995) Blood 86, 598-606).

Antibodies raised against the 51C/SHIP2 inositol polyphosphate 5'-phosphatase were used to examine the effects of growth factors and insulin on the metabolism of this protein. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the 51C/SHIP2 protein was widely expressed in fibroblast and nonhematopoietic tumor cell lines, unlike the SHIP protein, which was found only in cell lines of hematopoietic origin. The 51C/SHIP2 antiserum precipitated a protein of approximately 145 kDa along with an activity which hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the 51C/SHIP2 protein occurred in response to treatment of cells with epidermal growth (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), or insulin. EGF and PDGF induced transient tyrosine phosphorylation of 51C/SHIP2, with maximal tyrosine phosphorylation occurring at 5-10 min following treatment and returning to near basal levels within 20 min. In contrast, treatment of cells with NGF, IGF-1, or insulin resulted in prolonged tyrosine phosphorylation of 51C/SHIP2 protein, with 40-80% maximal phosphorylation sustained for up to 2 h following agonist treatment. The kinetics of activation of the Akt/PKB protein kinase by the various factors correlated well with the kinetics of tyrosine phosphorylation of 51C/SHIP2. EGF, NGF, and PDGF stimulated the association of 51C/SHIP2 protein with the Shc adapter protein; however, no Shc could be detected in 51C/SHIP2-immune precipitates from cells treated with IGF-1 or insulin. The data suggest that 51C/SHIP2 may play a significant role in regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase signaling by growth factors and insulin.

The serine-threonine kinase Akt/PKB is activated downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in response to several growth factor stimuli and has been implicated in the promotion of cell survival. Although both phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PI 3,4-P2) have been implicated in the regulation of Akt activity in vitro, the relative roles of these two phospholipids in vivo are not well understood. Co-ligation of the B cell receptor (BCR) and the inhibitory FcgammaRIIB1 on B cells results in the recruitment of the 5'-inositol phosphatase SHIP to the signaling complex. Since SHIP is known to cleave PIP3 to generate PI 3,4-P2 both in vivo and in vitro, and Akt activity has been reported to be regulated by either PIP3 or PI 3,4-P2, we hypothesized that recruitment of SHIP through FcgammaRIIB1 co-cross-linking to the BCR in B cells might regulate Akt activity. The nature of this regulation, positive or negative, might also reveal the relative contribution of PIP3 and PI 3,4-P2 to Akt activation in vivo. Here we report that Akt is activated by stimulation through the BCR in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner and that this activation is inhibited by co-cross-linking of the BCR to FcgammaRIIB1. Using mutants of FcgammaRIIB1 and SHIP-deficient B cells, we demonstrate that inhibition of Akt activity is mediated by the immune cell tyrosine-based inhibitory motif within FcgammaRIIB1 as well as SHIP. The SHIP-dependent inhibition of Akt activation also suggests that PIP3 plays a greater role in Akt activation than PI 3,4-P2 in vivo.

Coligation of FcgammaRIIb1 with the B cell receptor (BCR) or FcepsilonRI on mast cells inhibits B cell or mast cell activation. Activity of the inositol phosphatase SHIP is required for this negative signal. In vitro, SHIP catalyzes the conversion of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) product phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate (PIP3) into phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate. Recent data demonstrate that coligation of FcgammaRIIb1 with BCR inhibits PIP3-dependent Btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) activation and the Btk-dependent generation of inositol trisphosphate that regulates sustained calcium influx. In this study, we provide evidence that coligation of FcgammaRIIb1 with BCR induces binding of PI3K to SHIP. This interaction is mediated by the binding of the SH2 domains of the p85 subunit of PI3K to a tyrosine-based motif in the C-terminal region of SHIP. Furthermore, the generation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate was only partially reduced during coligation of BCR with FcgammaRIIb1 despite a drastic reduction in PIP3. In contrast to the complete inhibition of Tec kinase-dependent calcium signaling, activation of the serine/threonine kinase Akt was partially preserved during BCR and FcgammaRIIb1 coligation. The association of PI3K with SHIP may serve to activate PI3K and to regulate downstream events such as B cell activation-induced apoptosis.

Because of the probable causal relationship between constitutive p210(bcr/abl) protein tyrosine kinase activity and manifestations of chronic-phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML; myeloid expansion), a key goal is to identify relevant p210 substrates in primary chronic-phase CML hematopoietic progenitor cells. We describe here the purification and mass spectrometric identification of a 155-kD tyrosine phosphorylated protein associated with src homologous and collagen gene (SHC) from p210(bcr/abl)-expressing hematopoietic cells as SHIP2, a recently reported, unique SH2-domain-containing protein closely related to phosphatidylinositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase SHIP. In addition to an N-terminal SH2 domain and a central catalytic region, SHIP2 (like SHIP1) possesses both potential PTB(NPXY) and SH3 domain (PXXP) binding motifs. Thus, two unique 5-ptases with striking structural homology are coexpressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Stimulation of human hematopoietic growth factor responsive cell lines with stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) demonstrate the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP2 and its resulting association with SHC. This finding suggests that SHIP2, like that reported for SHIP1 previously, is linked to downstream signaling events after activation of hematopoietic growth factor receptors. However, using antibodies specific to these two proteins, we demonstrate that, whereas SHIP1 and SHIP2 selectively hydrolyze PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in vitro, only SHIP1 hydrolyzes soluble Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Such an enzymatic difference raises the possibility that SHIP1 and SHIP2 may serve different functions. Preliminary binding studies using lysates from p210(bcr/abl)-expressing cells indicate that both Ptyr SHIP2 and Ptyr SHIP1 bind to the PTB domain of SHC but not to its SH2 domain. Interestingly, SHIP2 was found to selectively bind to the SH3 domain of ABL, whereas SHIP1 selectively binds to the SH3 domain of Src. Furthermore, in contrast to SHIP1, SHIP2 did not bind to either the N-terminal or C-terminal SH3 domains of GRB2. These observations suggest (1) that SHIP1 and SHIP2 may have a different hierarchy of binding SH3 containing proteins and therefore may modulate different signaling pathways and/or localize to different cellular compartments and (2) that they may be substrates for tyrosine phosphorylation by different tyrosine kinases. Because recent evidence has clearly implicated both PI(3,4, 5)P3 and PI(3,4)P2 in growth factor-mediated signaling, our finding that both SHIP1 and SHIP2 are constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in CML primary hematopoietic progenitor cells may thus have important implications in p210(bcr/abl)-mediated myeloid expansion.

SHIP is an inositol 5' phosphatase that hydrolyzes the PI3'K product PI(3,4,5)P3. We show that SHIP-deficient mice exhibit dramatic chronic hyperplasia of myeloid cells resulting in splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and myeloid infiltration of vital organs. Neutrophils and bone marrow-derived mast cells from SHIP-/- mice are less susceptible to programmed cell death induced by various apoptotic stimuli or by growth factor withdrawal. Engagement of IL3-R and GM-CSF-R in these cells leads to increased and prolonged PI3'K-dependent PI(3,4,5)P3 accumulation and PKB activation. These data indicate that SHIP is a negative regulator of growth factor-mediated PKB activation and myeloid cell survival.

The protein kinase Akt/PKB is a crucial regulator of cell survival in response to mitogenic signals. The increased kinase activity of v-akt, an oncogenic form of Akt/PKB, causes mouse T cell lymphoma, and overexpression of Akt/PKB is associated with progression of several tumor types in human. In this study, we demonstrate that ligation of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) leads to activation of Akt/PKB in B lymphocytes. BCR-induced activation of Akt/PKB required the tyrosine kinase Syk, which was not previously known to regulate Akt/PKB. In contrast, BCR crosslinking of Lyn-deficient B cells resulted in markedly enhanced hyperphosphorylation and activation of Akt/PKB compared with wild-type B cells, indicating that this Src-family kinase acts as an endogenous antagonist of BCR-induced Akt/PKB activation. Lyn inhibited Akt/PKB additively with an okadaic acid-sensitive endogenous phosphatase(s). Expression of exogenous Lyn in mutant cells restored normal BCR-induced phosphorylation of Akt/PKB. Negative regulation of Akt/PKB by Lyn was not dependent on the protein phosphatases SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHIP. Our results show that Lyn provides a mechanism for negative regulation and opposes the effect of Syk on BCR-mediated activation of Akt/PKB. Deregulation of Akt/PKB correlates with the hyperresponsiveness of B cells from Lyn-deficient mice stimulated by BCR crosslinking and may contribute to the autoimmune syndrome that develops in Lyn-deficient animals.

The BCR/ABL oncogene causes chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by clonal expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells and granulocyte lineage cells. The SH2-containing inositol-5-phosphatase SHIP is a 145-kDa protein which has been shown to regulate hematopoiesis in mice. Targeted disruption of the murine SHIP gene results in a myeloproliferative syndrome characterized by a dramatic increase in numbers of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells in the marrow and spleen. Also, hematopoietic progenitor cells from SHIP(-/-) mice are hyperresponsive to certain hematopoietic growth factors, a phenotype very similar to the effects of BCR/ABL in murine cells. In a series of BCR/ABL-transformed hematopoietic cell lines, Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive cell lines, and primary cells from patients with CML, the expression of SHIP was found to be absent or substantially reduced compared to untransformed cell lines or leukemia cells lacking BCR/ABL. Ba/F3 cells in which expression of BCR/ABL was under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter showed rapid loss of p145 SHIP, coincident with induction of BCR/ABL expression. Also, an ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, CGP57148B (STI571), rapidly caused reexpression of SHIP, indicating that BCR/ABL directly, but reversibly, regulates the expression of SHIP protein. The estimated half-life of SHIP protein was reduced from 18 h to less than 3 h. However, SHIP mRNA also decreased in response to BCR/ABL, suggesting that SHIP protein levels could be affected by more than one mechanism. Reexpression of SHIP in BCR/ABL-transformed Ba/F3 cells altered the biological behavior of cells in culture. The reduction of SHIP due to BCR/ABL is likely to directly contribute to the pathogenesis of CML.

An increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration by B cell receptor (BCR) cross-linking plays important roles in the regulation of B cell functions. [Ca(2+)](i) is regulated by Ca(2+) release from the Ca(2+) store as well as store-operated Ca(2+) influx (SOC). Protein tyrosine kinases downstream of BCR cross-linking were shown to regulate the mechanism for Ca(2+) release. However, it remains elusive whether BCR cross-linking regulates SOC or not. In this study, we examined the effect of BCR cross-linking on thapsigargin-induced SOC in the DT40 B cells. We found that the SOC-mediated increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration was inhibited by BCR cross-linking. Using a membrane-potential-sensitive dye, we found that BCR cross-linking induced depolarization, which is expected to decrease the driving force of Ca(2+) influx and SOC channel conductance. When membrane potential was held constant by the transmembrane K(+) concentration gradient in the presence of valinomycin, the BCR-mediated inhibition of SOC was still observed. Thus, the BCR-mediated inhibition of SOC involves both depolarization-dependent and depolarization-independent mechanisms of SOC inhibition. The depolarization-independent inhibition of the SOC was abolished in Lyn-deficient, but not in Bruton's tyrosine kinase-, Syk- or SHIP (Src homology 2 domain containing phosphatidylinositol 5'-phosphatase)-deficient cells, indicating that Lyn is involved in the inhibition. These results show novel pathways of BCR-mediated SOC regulations.

We examined Fc receptor expression and function in normal and leukemic human immature B cells. Fc receptor expression increased with normal B cell maturation: CD32(+) cells composed 8.1% +/- 1.2% (mean +/- s.d.) of the least mature (CD34(+)CD10(+)), 19.2% +/- 5.7% of intermediate (CD34(-)CD10(+)), and 82.4% +/- 5.0% of mature (CD34(-)CD10(-)) bone marrow CD19(+) B cells. Forty-five of 57 primary B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples and all six cell lines studied expressed Fc receptors. By RT-PCR and antibody staining, FcgammaRIIA was the Fc receptor predominantly expressed in these cells. FcgammaRIIA ligation in RS4;11 and 380 cells induced tyrosine phosphorylation of CD32, CD19, CBL, SYK, P13-K p85 and SHIP, as well as RasGAP association with tyrosine-phosphorylated p62(dok). These signalling events resulted in a marked suppression of leukemia cell growth. After a 7-day exposure to anti-CD32, the recovery of ALL cells cocultured with stroma was reduced to 5.5% +/- 2.8% of control values in 380 cells (n = 14), 19.4% +/- 6.1% (n = 8) in RS4;11, and 4.0% +/- 1.3% (n = 6) in KOPN55bi. CD32 ligation also reduced cell recovery in five of seven CD32(+) primary leukemia samples. Thus, FcgammaRIIA mediates signals that suppress the growth of lymphoid leukemia cells.
