Inhibition of insulin receptor signaling by high glucose levels and by TNF-alpha was recently observed in different cell systems. The aim of the present study was to characterize the mechanism of TNF-alpha-induced insulin receptor inhibition and to compare the consequences of TNF-alpha- and hyperglycemia-induced insulin receptor inhibition for signal transduction downstream from the IR. TNF-alpha (0.5-10 nM) and high glucose (25 mM) showed similar rapid kinetics of inhibition (5-10 min, > 50%) of insulin receptor autophosphorylation in NIH3T3 cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor. TNF-alpha effects were completely prevented by the phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) inhibitors orthovanadate (40 microM) and phenylarsenoxide (35 microM), but they were unaffected by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor H7 (0.1 mM), the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin (5 microM), and the thiazolidindione troglitazone (CS045) (2 microgram/ml). In contrast, glucose effects were prevented by PKC inhibitors and CS045 but unaffected by PTPase inhibitors and wortmannin. To assess effects on downstream signaling, tyrosine phosphorylation of the following substrate proteins of the insulin receptor was determined: insulin receptor substrate-1, the coupling protein Shc, focal adhesion kinase (FAK125), and unidentified proteins of 130 kD, 60 kD. Hyperglycemia (25 mM glucose) and TNF-alpha showed analogous (> 50% inhibition) effects on tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1, Shc, p60, and p44, whereas opposite effects were observed for tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK125, which is dephosphorylated after insulin stimulation. Whereas TNF-alpha did not prevent insulin-induced dephosphorylation of FAK125, 25 mM glucose blocked this insulin effect completely. In summary, the data suggest that TNF-alpha and high glucose modulate insulin receptor-signaling through different mechanisms: (a) TNF-alpha modulates insulin receptor signals by PTPase activation, whereas glucose acts through activation of PKC. (b) Differences in modulation of the insulin receptor signaling cascade are found with TNF-alpha and high glucose: Hyperglycemia-induced insulin receptor inhibition blocks both insulin receptor-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate proteins. In contrast, TNF-alpha blocks only substrate phosphorylation, and it does not block insulin-induced substrate dephosphorylation. The different effects on FAK125 regulation allow the speculation that long-term cell effects related to FAK125 activity might develop in a different way in hyperglycemia- and TNF-alpha-dependent insulin resistance.

Insulin stimulation of fibroblasts rapidly induces the tyrosine dephosphorylation of proteins of 68 kDa and 125 kDa, in addition to the tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor beta-chain, insulin receptor substrates 1 and 2, and Shc. Using specific antibodies, the 68 kDa and 125 kDa proteins were identified as paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (pp125FAK) respectively. We have examined whether dephosphorylation of paxillin and pp125FAK requires interaction of the cells with the extracellular matrix. For this, cells were grown on poly(L-lysine) plates, and the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125FAK and paxillin was increased by addition of lysophosphatidic acid. Under these conditions, insulin still induced the complete dephosphorylation of pp125FAK and paxillin, indicating that this process can occur independently of the interaction of integrins with extracellular matrix proteins. We also studied whether dephosphorylation of pp125FAK and paxillin results from the action of a phosphotyrosine phosphatase. It was found that phenylarsine oxide, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, prevented the insulin-induced dephosphorylation of pp125FAK and paxillin. Furthermore, this insulin-induced dephosphorylation was also impaired in cells expressing a dominant-negative mutant of phosphotyrosine phosphatase 1D (PTP 1D). Thus we have identified paxillin as a target for dephosphorylation by insulin. In addition, we have obtained evidence that the insulin-mediated dephosphorylation of paxillin and pp125FAK requires active PTP 1D.

Interactions between SHP-2 phosphotyrosine phosphatase and JAK tyrosine kinases have recently been implicated in cytokine signal transduction. However, the molecular basis of these interactions is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that SHP-2 is tyrosine-phosphorylated by and associated with JAK1 and JAK2 but not JAK3 in COS-1 cell cotransfection experiments. SHP-2 phosphatase activity appears not to be required for JAK and SHP-2 interactions because SHP-2 with a mutation at amino acid 463 from Cys to Ser, which renders SHP-2 inactive, can still bind JAKs. We further demonstrate that SHP-2 SH2 domains (amino acids 1-209) are not essential for the association of JAKs with SHP-2, and the region between amino acids 232 and 272 in SHP-2 is important for the interactions. Furthermore, tyrosine residues 304 and 327 in SHP-2 are phosphorylated by JAKs, and phosphorylated SHP-2 can associate with the downstream adapter protein Grb2. Finally, deletion of the N terminus but not the kinase-like domain of JAK2 abolishes the association of JAK2 with SHP-2. Taken together, these studies identified novel sequences for SHP-2 and JAK interactions that suggest unique signaling mechanisms mediated by these two molecules.

BCR-ABL is a chimeric oncoprotein that exhibits deregulated tyrosine kinase activity and is implicated in the pathogenesis of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive leukemia. We have previously shown SH2-containing phosphotyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 forms stable complexes with BCR-ABL and Grb2 in BCR-ABL-transformed cells (Tauchi, T., Feng, G. S., Shen, R., Song, H. Y., Donner, D., Pawson, T., and Broxmeyer, H. E. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 15381-15387). To elucidate the structural requirement of BCR-ABL for the interactions with SH2-containing signaling molecules, we examined a series of BCR-ABL mutants which include the Grb2 binding site-deleted BCR-ABL (1-63 BCR/ABL), the tetramerization domain-deleted BCR-ABL (64-509 BCR/ABL), and the SH2 domain-deleted BCR-ABL (BCR/ABL deltaSH2). These BCR-ABL mutants were previously shown to reduce the transforming activity in fibroblasts. We found that the tetramerization domain-deleted BCR-ABL did not induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2 and the interactions of BCR-ABL, SHP-2, and Grb2. In vitro kinase assays have also shown that the tetramerization domain-deleted BCR-ABL mutant did not phosphorylate GST-SHP-2 in vitro. SHP-2 was co-immunoprecipitated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in BCR/ABL p210-transformed cells; however, this interaction was not observed in the tetramerization domain-deleted BCR-ABL mutant. Therefore the tetramerization domain of BCR-ABL is essential for interactions of these downstream molecules.

Growth hormone (GH) rapidly stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation followed by serine/threonine phosphorylation of multiple cytoplasmic STAT transcription factors, including one, STAT5b, that is uniquely responsive to the temporal pattern of plasma GH stimulation in rat liver and is proposed to play a central role in the activation of male-expressed liver genes by GH pulses in vivo (Waxman, D. J., Ram, P. A., Park, S. H., and Choi, H. K. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 13262-13270). We now show that JAK2, the GH receptor-associated tyrosine kinase, is present both in the cytosol and in the nucleus in cultured liver cells and in rat liver in vivo and that GH-activated STAT3 but not STAT5b becomes associated with nuclear JAK2. GH is also shown to activate by 3-4-fold SHP-1, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase that contains two src homology 2 (SH2) domains. GH also induces nuclear translocation and binding of SHP-1 to tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT5b, suggesting that this GH-activated phosphatase may play a role in dephosphorylation leading to deactivation of nuclear STAT5b following the termination of a plasma GH pulse in male rat liver in vivo. No such association of SHP-1 with GH-activated STAT3 was detected, a finding that could help explain the marked desensitization of STAT3, but not STAT5b, to subsequent GH pulses following an initial GH activation event.

An early event in signaling by the G-protein-coupled angiotensin II (Ang II) AT1 receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells is the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1). In the present study, we show that stimulation of this event by Ang II in vascular smooth muscle cells is accompanied by binding of PLCgamma1 to the AT1 receptor in an Ang II- and tyrosine phophorylation-dependent manner. The PLCgamma1-AT1 receptor interaction appears to depend on phosphorylation of tyrosine 319 in a YIPP motif in the C-terminal intracellular domain of the AT1 receptor and binding of the phosphorylated receptor by the most C-terminal of two Src homology 2 domains in PLCgamma1. PLCgamma1 thus binds to the same site in the receptor previously identified for binding by the SHP-2 phosphotyrosine phosphatase.JAK2 tyrosine kinase complex. A single site in the C-terminal tail of the AT1 receptor can, therefore, be bound in a ligand-dependent manner by two different downstream effector proteins. These data demonstrate that G-protein-coupled receptors can physically associate with intracellular proteins other than G proteins, creating membrane-delimited signal transduction complexes similar to those observed for classic growth factor receptors.

GH stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of various cellular polypeptides, including the GH receptor itself, in an early part of the intracellular response. Some of these phosphorylations are catalyzed by a GH receptor-associated kinase identified as JAK2, a member of the Janus family of tyrosine kinases. In cultured cells, GH stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), IRS-2, and Shc. This study investigated whether GH could cause the tyrosine phosphorylation of IRSs and Shc proteins in fasted rat tissues in vivo. GH was administered to fasted Wistar rats via a portal vein, and extracts of different tissues were immunoprecipitated with specific antibodies. GH increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, IRS-2, JAK2, and Shc proteins in the liver, heart, kidney, muscle, and adipose tissue of rats. The roles of these substrates as signaling molecules for GH were further demonstrated by the finding that GH stimulated the association of IRS-1/2 with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Grb2, and phosphotyrosine phosphatase and of Shc with Grb2. The correlation between JAK2 tyrosyl phosphorylation and IRS-1 tyrosyl phosphorylation in response to GH together with the results of the in vitro tyrosine kinase assay are consistent with the hypothesis that JAK2 may mediate GH-induced phosphorylation of IRS-1.

STAT5b (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b) is a key mediator of the effects of plasma GH pulses on male-specific liver gene expression. STAT5b is activated in liver cells in vivo by physiological pulses of GH and then is rapidly deactivated. Investigation of the cellular events involved in this activation/deactivation cycle using the rat liver cell line CWSV-1 established that a brief exposure to GH and the associated activation of JAK2 (Janus kinase 2) tyrosine kinase activity are both necessary and sufficient to initiate all of the downstream steps associated with STAT5b activation by tyrosine phosphorylation and the subsequent deactivation of both JAK2 kinase and STAT5b. JAK2 signaling to STAT5b at the conclusion of a GH pulse could be sustained by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide or by the proteasome inhibitor MG132, indicating that termination of this JAK2-catalyzed STAT activation loop requires synthesis of a labile or GH-inducible protein factor and is facilitated by the proteasome pathway. This factor may be a phosphotyrosine phosphatase, since the phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate both sustained GH pulse-induced JAK2 signaling to STAT5b and blocked the rapid deactivation of phosphorylated STAT5b (t(1/2) = 8.8 +/- 0.9 min) seen in its absence. Finally, the serine kinase inhibitor H7 blocked down-regulation of JAK2 signaling to STAT5b in a manner that enabled cells to respond to a subsequent GH pulse without the need for the approximately 3-h interpulse interval normally required for full recovery of GH pulse responsiveness. Termination of GH pulse-induced STAT5b signaling is thus a complex process that involves multiple biochemical events. These are proposed to include the down-regulation of JAK2 signaling to STAT5b via a cycloheximide- and H7-sensitive step, proteasome-dependent degradation of a key component or regulatory factor, and dephosphorylation leading to deactivation of the receptor-kinase signaling complex and its STAT5b substrate via the action of a phosphotyrosine phosphatase.

The suppression of male-specific, GH pulse-induced, liver transcription in adult female rats has been linked to the down-regulation of STAT5b activation by the female plasma pattern of near-continuous GH exposure. The mechanism underlying this down-regulation was studied in the rat liver cell line CWSV-1, where continuous GH suppressed the level of activated (tyrosine- phosphorylated) STAT5b to approximately 10-20% of the maximal GH pulse-induced STAT5b signal within 3 h. In contrast to the robust JAK2 kinase-dependent STAT5b activation loop that is established by a GH pulse, JAK2 kinase signaling to individual STAT5b molecules was found to be short lived in cells treated with GH continuously. Moreover, maintenance of the low-level STAT5b signal required ongoing protein synthesis and persisted for at least 7 days provided that GH was present in the culture continuously. Increased STAT5b DNA-binding activity was observed in cells treated with the proteasome inhibitor MG132, suggesting that at least one component of the GH receptor (GHR)-JAK2-STAT5b signaling pathway becomes labile in response to continuous GH treatment. The phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate fully reversed the down-regulation of STAT5b DNA-binding activity in continuous GH-treated cells by a mechanism that involves both increased STAT5b activation and decreased STAT5b dephosphorylation. Moreover, the requirement for ongoing GH stimulation and active protein synthesis to maintain STAT5b activity in continuous GH-treated cells were both eliminated by pervanadate treatment, suggesting that phosphotyrosine dephosphorylation may be an obligatory first step in the internalization/degradation pathway for the GHR-JAK2 complex. Finally, the sustaining effect of the serine kinase inhibitor H7 on GH pulse-induced JAK2 signaling to STAT5b was not observed in continuous GH-treated cells. These findings suggest a model where continuous GH exposure of liver cells down-regulates the STAT5b pathway by a mechanism that involves enhanced dephosphorylation of both STAT5b and GHR-JAK2, with the latter step leading to increased internalization/degradation of the re-ceptor-kinase complex.
