Cell surface tyrosine kinase receptors are subject to a rapid activation by their ligand, which is followed by secondary regulatory processes. The IHE2 cell line is a unique model system to study the regulation of EGF binding to EGF receptors after activation of the EGF receptor kinase. IHE2 cells express both a chimeric insulin-EGF receptor kinase (IER) and a kinase-deficient EGF receptor (HER K721A). We have previously reported that IER is an insulin-responsive EGF receptor tyrosine kinase that activates one or several serine/threonine kinases, which in turn phosphorylate(s) the unoccupied HER K721A. In this article we show that insulin through IER activation induces a decrease in 125I-EGF binding to IHE2 cells. Scatchard analysis indicates that, as for TPA, the effect of insulin can be accounted for by a loss of the high affinity binding of EGF to HER K721A. Since this receptor transmodulation persists in protein kinase C downregulated IHE2 cells, it is likely to be due to a mechanism independent of protein kinase C activation. Using an in vitro system of 125I-EGF binding to transmodulated IHE2 membranes, we illustrate that the inhibition of EGF binding induced by IER activation is related to the phosphorylation state of HER K721A. Further, studies with phosphatase 2A, or at a temperature (4 degrees C) where only IER is functional, strongly suggest that the loss of high affinity EGF binding is related to the serine/threonine phosphorylation of HER K721A after IER activation. Our results provide evidence for a "homologous desensitization" of EGF receptor binding after activation of the EGF receptor kinase of the IER receptor.

The acetylcholine analogue carbachol rapidly activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and caused tyrosine phosphorylation of the adapter protein p52 Shc and the epidermalgrowth factor (EGF) receptor, in human embryonic kidney cells stably expressing m3 muscarinic receptors. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X caused a significant partial inhibition of m3 receptor-mediated activation of MAPK. The PKC-independent MAPK activity elicited by carbachol in the presence of GF109203X was reproducibly abolished by AG1478, an inhibitor of EGF-receptor tyrosine kinase activity, and by the Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP1. In a subset of these experiments, GF109203X concomitantly increased carbachol-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p52 Shc and the EGF receptor. In co-stimulation experiments, carbachol and EGF activated MAPK in a non-additive fashion; moreover, EGF-induced association of Shc with the phosphorylated EGF receptor was inhibited by carbachol. This effect of carbachol was blocked by GF109203X. The results indicate that MAPK activation by m3 receptor stimulation is regulated by two pathways; one dependent on PKC, and the other mediated via the EGF receptor and Src. Moreover, the EGF-receptor-dependent pathway may be subject to negative-feedback regulation via m3 receptor-coupled activation of PKC.

It has previously been shown that neurotensin binds to high-affinity receptors in the adenocarcinoma HT29 cell line, and that receptor occupancy leads to inositol phosphate formation. The present study was designed to investigate further the effects of neurotensin on calcium mobilization and protein kinase C (PKC) activation in HT29 cells, and to assess the role of GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) in the neurotensin response. Direct measurements of cytosolic Ca2+ variations using the fluorescent indicator quin 2 showed that neurotensin (0.1-1 microM) elicited Ca2+ transients in HT29 cells. These transients occurred after the neurotensin-stimulated formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3, as measured by means of a specific radioreceptor assay. In addition, the peptide induced a decrease in the 45Ca2+ content of cells previously equilibrated with this isotope. The peptide effect was rapid, long-lasting and concentration-dependent, with an EC50 of 2 nM. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibited by 50% the neurotensin effects on both intracellular Ca2+ and inositol phosphate levels. The inhibition by PMA was abolished in PKC-depleted cells. Pertussis toxin had no effect on either the Ca2+ or inositol phosphate responses to neurotensin. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors which are present in HT29 cells have been shown to be down-regulated through phosphorylation by PKC in a variety of systems. Here, PMA markedly (70-80%) inhibited EGF binding to HT29 cells. Scatchard analysis revealed that PMA abolished the high-affinity component of EGF binding, an effect that was totally reversed in PKC-depleted cells. In contrast, neurotensin slightly (10-20%) inhibited EGF binding to HT29 cells, and its effect was only partly reversed by PKC depletion. Neurotensin had no detectable effect on sn-1,2-diacylglycerol levels in HT29 cells, as measured by a specific and sensitive enzymic assay. In membranes prepared from HT29 cells, monoiodo[125I-Tyr3]neurotensin bound to a single population of receptors with a dissociation constant of 0.27 nM. Sodium and GTP inhibited neurotensin binding in a concentration-dependent manner. Maximal inhibition reached 80% with Na+ and 35% with GTP.IC50 values were 20 mM and 0.2 microM for Na+ and GTP respectively. Li+ and K+ were less effective than Na+ and the effects of GTP were shared by GDP and guanosine-5′-[beta gamma- imido]triphosphate but not by ATP. Scatchard analysis of binding data indicated that Na+ and GTP converted the high-affinity neurotensin-binding sites into lower affinity binding sites. The properties of the effects of Na+ and GTP on neurotensin-receptor interactions are characteristic of those receptors which interact with G-proteins.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Treatment of cells with tumor-promoting phorbol diesters, which causes activation of protein kinase C, leads to phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor at threonine-654. Addition of phorbol diesters to intact cells causes inhibition of the EGF-induced tyrosine-protein kinase activity of the EGF receptor and it has been suggested that this effect of phorbol diesters is mediated by the phosphorylation of the receptor by protein kinase C. We measured the activity of protein kinase C in A431 cells by determining the incorporation of [32P]phosphate into peptides containing threonine-654 obtained by trypsin digestion of EGF receptors. After 3 h of exposure to serum-free medium, A431 cells had no detectable protein kinase C activity. Addition of EGF to these cells resulted in [32P] incorporation into threonine-654 as well as into tyrosine residues. This indicates that EGF promotes the activation of protein kinase C in A431 cells. The phosphorylation of threonine-654 induced by EGF was maximal after only 5 min of EGF addition and the [32P] incorporation into threonine-654 reached 50% of the [32P] in a tyrosine-containing peptide. This indicates that a significant percentage of the total EGF receptors are phosphorylated by protein kinase C. A variety of external stimuli activate Na+/H+ exchange, including EGF, phorbol diesters, and hypertonicity. To ascertain whether activation of protein kinase C is an intracellular common effector of all of these systems, we measured the activity of protein kinase C after exposure of A431 cells to hyperosmotic conditions and observed no effect on phosphorylation of threonine-654, therefore, activation of Na+/H+ exchange by hypertonic medium is independent of protein kinase C activity. Since stimulation of protein kinase C by phorbol diesters results in a decrease in EGF receptor activity, the stimulation of protein kinase C activity by addition of EGF to A431 cells contributes to a feedback mechanism which results in the attenuation of EGF receptor function.

Activation of the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase by ligand indirectly activates a series of other cellular enzymes, including protein kinase C. To test the hypothesis that phosphorylation of the EGF receptor by protein kinase C provides an intracellular negative feedback loop to attenuate EGF receptor signaling, we used scanning EM to follow the characteristic EGF-induced retraction of lamellipodia and concomitant cell shape changes. Wild type and mutant EGF receptors were expressed in receptor-deficient NR6 cells. The mutant receptors were prepared by truncation at C' terminal residue 973 (c'973) to provide resistance to ligand-induced down regulation that strongly attenuates receptor signaling and by replacement of threonine 654 (T654) with alanine (A654) to remove the site of phosphorylation by protein kinase C. Cells expressing WT and c'973 EGF receptors demonstrated characteristic lamellipodial retraction after exposure to EGF, with the non-down regulating c'973 EGF receptors responding more rapidly. Exposure of cells to TPA blocked this response. Replacement of T654 by alanine resulted in EGF receptors that were resistant to TPA. Cells expressing the A654 mutation underwent more rapid and more extensive morphologic changes than cells with the corresponding T654 EGF receptor. In cells expressing T654 EGF receptors, down regulation of protein kinase C resulted in more rapid and extensive EGF-induced changes similar to those seen in cells expressing A654 EGF receptors. These data indicate that activation of protein kinase C and subsequent phosphorylation of the EGF receptor at T654 lead to rapid physiological attenuation of EGF receptor signaling.

Binding of murine epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its high-affinity receptor can be modulated by a variety of structurally unrelated mitogens. The transmodulation, however, is temperature-dependent and has not been observed in isolated membranes. We report here the transmodulation of high-affinity EGF receptors by platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) and tumour-promoting phorbol esters in 3T3 cells even when they are rendered incapable of fluid-phase endocytosis by treatment with phenylarsine oxide or by permeabilization with lysophosphatidylcholine. The relative affinity of the EGF receptors in the absence of modulating agents is not significantly altered by phenylarsine oxide treatment. Thus the difference in affinity between the two classes of EGF receptors seems to be unrelated to dynamic membrane changes or to differential rates of internalization. In permeabilized cells, non-hydrolysable GTP analogues transmodulate the high-affinity EGF receptor; however, the effects of these analogues are blocked by the protein kinase C inhibitor chlorpromazine. In contrast, transmodulation by PDGF is not blocked by chloropromazine. Thus the high-affinity EGF receptor can be transmodulated by both protein kinase C-dependent or -independent pathways, and the transmodulation processes do not require fluid-phase endocytosis.
