Abstract
|
|---|
To examine the role of SHIP in insulin-induced mitogenic signaling, we
used a truncated SHIP lacking the SH2 domain (
SH2-SHIP) and a
Y917/1020F-SHIP (2F-SHIP) in which two tyrosines contributing to Shc
binding were mutated to phenylalanine. Wild-type (WT)-,
SH2-, and
2F-SHIP were transiently transfected into Rat1 fibroblasts
overexpressing insulin receptors (HIRc). Insulin-stimulated tyrosine
phosphorylation of WT-SHIP and
SH2-SHIP, whereas tyrosine
phosphorylation of 2F-SHIP was not detectable, indicating that
917/1020-Tyr are key phosphorylation sites on SHIP. Although SHIP can
bind via its 917/1020-Tyr residues and SH2 domain to Shc PTB domain and
317-Tyr residue, respectively, insulin-induced SHIP association with
Shc was more greatly decreased in 2F-SHIP cells than that in
SH2-SHIP cells. Insulin stimulation of Shc association with Grb2,
which is important for p21ras-MAP kinase activation, was decreased by
overexpression of WT- and 2F-SHIP. Importantly, insulin-induced
Shc·Grb2 association was not detectably reduced in
SH2-SHIP cells.
In accordance with the extent of Shc association with Grb2,
insulin-induced MAP kinase activation was relatively decreased in both
WT-SHIP and 2F-SHIP cells, but not in
SH2-SHIP cells. To examine the
functional role of SHIP in insulins biological action,
insulin-induced mitogenesis was compared among these transfected cells.
Insulin stimulation of thymidine incorporation and bromodeoxyuridine
incorporation was decreased in WT-SHIP cells compared with that of
control HIRc cells. Expression of 2F-SHIP also significantly reduced
insulin-induced mitogenesis, whereas it was only slightly affected by
overexpression of
SH2-SHIP. Furthermore, the reduction of
insulin-induced mitogenesis in WT-SHIP cells was partly compensated by
coexpression of Shc. These results indicate that SHIP plays a negative
regulatory role in insulin-induced mitogenesis and that the SH2 domain
of SHIP is important for its negative regulatory function.

Introduction
|
|---|
THE ADAPTOR PROTEIN Shc is a key molecule
that plays a role in insulin-induced mitogenesis, largely through the
activation of p21ras protein (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Shc is composed of an
amino-terminal phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain, a collagen
homology (CH) domain, and a carboxyl-terminal src homology 2 (SH2)
domain (1). Following insulin stimulation, Shc is tyrosine
phosphorylated mainly on 317-Tyr residue within the CH domain, and
subsequently associates via the tyrosine phosphorylated residue with
the SH2 domain of Grb2 (6, 7, 8). Grb2 exists as a preformed complex with
Sos, which is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for p21ras (5, 9, 10, 11). Shc binding to the Grb2·Sos complex is thought to be
important for the membrane localization of Sos, where it leads to
p21ras activation (5, 9, 10, 11). In addition to the interaction with Grb2,
Shc has been shown to associate with src homology 2 containing
5'-phosphatase (SHIP) (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17). SHIP contains an amino-terminal SH2
domain, a central 5'-phosphoinositol phosphatase activity domain, and
two phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) consensus sequences and a proline
rich region at the carboxyl tail (12, 13, 14). SHIP selectively hydrolyzes
the 5'-phosphate from Ins (1, 3, 4, 5) P4 and PtdIns (3, 4, 5) P3,
which are implicated in growth factor-mediated signaling (12, 13, 14, 18).
Although the precise mechanisms regulating inositol lipids to affect
downstream signaling remains unclear, SHIP has been implicated in the
negative regulation of Fc
RIIB receptor-mediated B cell proliferation
and signaling in mast cells (19, 20, 21, 22). Furthermore, important role of
SHIP-mediated dephosphorylation of PtdIns (3, 4, 5) P3 in
down-regulating insulin signaling was suggested by the fact that
insulin-induced Xenopus oocyte maturation was inhibited by SHIP
expression and that the inhibitory function of SHIP was dependent on
its phosphatase activity (23).
In addition to the role of SHIP dependent on its catalytic activity, it
is possible that, via its SH2 domain or carboxyl-terminus tyrosine
residues, SHIP could also regulate other signaling molecules. For
example, SHIP may influence p21ras activation through inhibiting
Shc·Grb2 pathway becaues SHIP can associate with Shc. In this regard,
SHIP SH2 domain and carboxyl-terminal tyrosine residues can interact
with Shc 317-Tyr residue and the PTB domain, respectively (16, 17).
SHIP SH2 domain interaction with Shc is assumed to affect
insulin-mediated Shc·Grb2 pathway by competing with Shc for binding
to Grb2 (16). In addition, SHIP may affect Shc·Grb2 pathway by
modulating insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, because
SHIP is also capable of binding via its carboxyl-terminus tyrosine
residues to Shc PTB domain, which interact with the activated insulin
receptor (7, 17, 24). To clarify the role of SHIP SH2 domain and
carboxyl-terminus phosphotyrosine binding consensus sites in the
regulation of insulin-induced mitogenesis, we used a truncated SHIP
lacking the SH2 domain (
SH2-SHIP) and a Y917/1020F-SHIP (2F-SHIP) in
which carboxyl-terminus two tyrosine residues were replaced with
phenylalanine. Wild-type (WT)-SHIP,
SH2-SHIP, and 2F-SHIP were
transiently transfected into Rat1 fibroblasts overexpressing insulin
receptors (HIRc). Insulin-induced Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and
Shc·Grb2 association for p21ras-MAP kinase activation leading to cell
cycle progression was compared among the transfected cells. These
experiments reveal a key role for the SH2 domain of SHIP in negatively
influencing the insulin-induced mitogenesis.

(Shizuoka, Japan). Effectene transfection reagents were purchased from
QIAGEN Inc. (Valencia, CA). [3H]Thymidine
was from NEN Life Science Products. A polyclonal
anti-Shc antibody and a monoclonal anti-Grb2 antibody were from
Transduction Laboratories (Lexington, KY). A polyclonal
anti-GST antibody, a polyclonal anti-SHIP antibody, a monoclonal
anti-Shc antibody, and a monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody (PY99)
were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). A

antibody and a polyclonal anti-MAP kinase antibody were from New England Biolabs, Inc. (Beverly, MA). Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a
monoclonal anti-BrdU antibody, and enhanced chemiluminescence reagents
were from Amersham Pharmacia Biotech Corp. (Uppsala,
Sweden). All other routine reagents were analytical grade and purchased
from Sigma (St. Louis, MO) or Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Osaka, Japan).
Cell culture
Rat1 fibroblasts overexpressing 1 x 106 human
insulin receptors per cell (HIRc) were kindly supplied from Dr. J.
M. Olefsky (University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA). HIRc
cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 10% FCS as
previously described (25).
Plasmid
DNA encoding GST-tagged wild-type Shc and SHIP were generated by
PCR and subcloning of DNA fragments into the pEBG vector as described
previously (17, 26, 27). GST tagged
SH2-SHIP, which lacks the SH2
domain of SHIP (
SH2-SHIP) and 2F-SHIP, in which tyrosines 917 and
1020 of murine SHIP have been replaced by phenylalanine (2F-SHIP) were
generated by PCR-based mutagenesis as described previously (17, 26, 28). These mutant SHIP DNA were also subcloned into the pEBG vector.
All constructs were sequenced, and the presence of appropriate
mutations was confirmed.
DNA transfection
Transient transfection into HIRc cells was performed using the
Effectene transfection reagents according to the manufacturers
instructions (QIAGEN Inc.). In brief, the cells were
washed twice with sterile PBS followed by addition of 1.6 ml DMEM to
each 35-mm well. Preformed complexes (Effectene reagents including 0.8
µg of the indicated DNA per well) were then added to each well and
dishes were placed at 37 C in 5% CO2. Approximately
48 h post transfection, the cells expressing equivalent levels of
various SHIP proteins were used for further studies. The transfection
efficiency of the SHIP constructs was about 45% by the
immunofluorescent staining with anti-GST antibody as described below,
and the efficiency was not significantly different among the expression
of various SHIP constructs.
Immunoprecipitations and Western blotting
Cells were serum-starved for 24 h in DMEM. The cells were
treated with 17 nM insulin at 37 C for the indicated times.
The cells were lysed in a buffer containing 30 mM Tris, 150
mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate,
1% Triton X-100, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride
(PMSF), 1 mM Na3VO4, 160
mM sodium fluoride, 10 µM aprotinin, 10
µM leupeptin, pH 7.4, for 15 min at 4 C. The cell lysates
were centrifuged to remove insoluble materials. The supernatants (100
µg of protein) were immunoprecipitated with the indicated antibodies
or precipitated with glutathione Sepharose beads for 2 h at 4 C.
The precipitates were then separated by 7.5% SDS-PAGE and transferred
onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes using a Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. Transblot apparatus. The membranes were
blocked in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris, 150
mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, and 2.5% BSA, pH7.5, for 2 h
at 20 C. The membranes were then probed with the specified antibodies
for 2 h at 20 C. After washing the membranes in a buffer
containing 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween
20, pH 7.5, blots were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-linked
second antibody followed by enhanced chemiluminescence detection using
ECL reagent according to the manufacturers instructions
(Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). To ensure equal amount of
protein loaded for the study, the cell lysates were immunoblotted with
anti-Shc antibody or anti-MAP kinase antibody. In addition, comparable
expression of SHIP constructs among the transfected cells was also
confirmed by immunoblotting of the cell lysates with anti-GST
antibody.
Thymidine incorporation
Cells were serum-starved for 20 h. After stimulation of the
cells with various concentrations of insulin for 20 h, 1 µCi of
[3H]thymidine was added for further 4 h. The cells
were washed twice with ice-cold PBS, twice with ice-cold 10%
trichloroacetic acid, and once with 95% ethanol. Then the cells were
dissolved in 0.2 N NaOH and 0.2% SDS, and counted in a
liquid scintillation counter (29). In these thymidine incorporation
studies, comparable expression of SHIP constructs was ensured by
immunoblotting of the cell lysates obtained from separate set of the
transfected cells with anti-GST antibody.
BrdU incorporation and immunostaining
Cells grown on glass coverslips were transfected with various
SHIP constructs. The transfected cells were rendered quiescent by
starvation for 24 h. Serum-starved cells were incubated with BrdU
plus 1.7 nM insulin for 16 h at 37 C. The cells were
fixed with acid alcohol (90% ethanol, 5% acetic acid) for 20 min at
22 C and then incubated with mouse monoclonal anti-BrdU antibody for
1 h at 22 C. The cells were then stained by incubation with
rhodamine-labeled donkey antimouse IgG antibody and fluorescein
isothiocyanate-labeled donkey anti-GST antibody for 1 h at 22 C.
After the coverslips were mounted, the cells were analyzed with a
Microphot-FXA fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Tokyo,
Japan) (4).
Statistical analysis
The data are represented as means ± SE.
P values were determined by unpaired Students t
test, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically
significant.

Expression of GST-tagged SHIP constructs
To examine the role of SHIP in insulin signaling, we transiently
transfected pEBG (empty vector), wild-type SHIP (WT-SHIP), a truncated
SHIP lacking SH2 domain (
SH2-SHIP), and a Y917/1020F-SHIP (2F-SHIP)
in which key tyrosine phosphorylation sites of SHIP were mutated to
phenylalanine, into Rat1 fibroblasts overexpressing human insulin
receptors (HIRc) (Fig. 1A
). After
expression of comparable amounts of these SHIP constructs was confirmed
by immunoblotting of the cell lysates with anti-SHIP antibody, we used
this transient expression procedure for further studies (Fig. 1B
).
Because the expression of endogenous SHIP is low, only a faint band of
endogenous SHIP was seen by the immunoblotting of the membranes with
anti-SHIP antibody (data not shown).
Insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP in the transfected
cells
It has been reported that SHIP is tyrosine phosphorylated
following cytokine stimulations in hematopoietic cells (30, 31, 32).
Likewise, cross-linking of the B-cell antigen receptor or T-cell
activation also induces tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP (33, 34).
Therefore, we examined the effect of insulin on SHIP tyrosine
phosphorylation in the transfected cells. As shown in Fig. 2A
, insulin-stimulated tyrosine
phosphorylation of WT-SHIP was peaked at 1 min after insulin treatment,
and declined thereafter.
SH2-SHIP expression also gave similar
amounts of insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, although the time
course was somewhat delayed compared with WT-SHIP expression (Fig. 2B
).
In contrast, insulin stimulation did not elicit detectable tyrosine
phosphorylation of 2F-SHIP (Fig. 2A
). These data suggest that two
tyrosines (Y917/Y1020) at SHIP carboxyl-terminus represent critical
phosphorylation sites and that SHIP SH2 domain may also play a role in
the kinetics of insulin-induced SHIP tyrosine phosphorylation.

Insulin-induced SHIP association with Shc in the transfected
cells
SHIP has been shown to be capable of interacting with Shc 317-Tyr
and the PTB domain via SHIP SH2 domain and the carboxyl-terminus two
tyrosines, respectively, after cytokine stimulations (16, 17, 35). We
therefore examined the role of SHIP SH2 domain and the
carboxyl-terminus two tyrosines in the interaction with Shc following
insulin stimulation as shown in Fig. 3A
.
SHIP was minimally associated with Shc in the basal state of any
transfected cells. Following insulin stimulation, WT-SHIP association
with Shc was increased by 5 min, and gradually decreased thereafter.
Insulin-induced SHIP association with Shc was also observed in
SH2-SHIP and 2F-SHIP cells, although the amount was decreased
compared with that in WT-SHIP cells. Importantly, the amount of the
association was more greatly reduced in 2F-SHIP cells compared with
that in
SH2-SHIP cells. After 5 min of insulin stimulation, SHIP
association with Shc was decreased to 58 ± 5% and 78 ± 4%
in 2F-SHIP and
SH2-SHIP cells, respectively, compared with that in
WT-SHIP cells as shown in Fig. 3B
. These results suggest that although
SHIP has two interacting sites for Shc via either SHIP-SH2 domain or
SHIP carboxyl-terminus tyrosine residues, the latter being more
predominant following insulin stimulation.

times. The cells were solubilized, and the cell lysates were
immunoprecipitated with anti-Shc antibody. The precipitates were
subjected to SDS-PAGE, and immunoblotted with anti-GST antibody. B, The
amount of SHIP associated with Shc was quantitated by densitometry and
presented as the percentage of the amount of SHIP associated with Shc
seen at 5 min after insulin stimulation in the WT-SHIP transfected
cells. The results are the mean ± SE of four separate
experiments.

Tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc was not affected by expression of
SHIP
Shc binds, via its PTB domain, to the activated insulin receptor
ß-subunit and also to SHIP carboxyl-terminus two phosphotyrosine
binding consensus sites (7, 24). Therefore, expression of SHIP might
affect insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc. To address this
issue, insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc was compared
among the SHIP transfected cells. As shown in Fig. 4A
, insulin-induced tyrosine
phosphorylation of Shc in a time-dependent manner in original HIRc
cells. Importantly, the kinetics of insulin-induced Shc tyrosine
phosphorylation was not affected by expression of either WT-SHIP,
SH2-SHIP, or 2F-SHIP. These results with the time-course of Shc
tyrosine phosphorylation are summarized in Fig. 4B
. Following insulin
stimulation, tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc was comparable among Mock,
WT-SHIP,
SH2-SHIP, and 2F-SHIP transfected cells. These results
indicate that SHIP expression does not inhibit Shc tyrosine
phosphorylation.

immunoprecipitated with anti-Shc antibody. The precipitates were

antibody. B, The amount of tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc was

Shc association with Grb2 was decreased by expression of
SHIP
Tyrosine phosphorylated Shc binds to Grb2, and overexpression of
Shc has been shown to increase insulin-induced Shc association with
Grb2 (8). Because phosphorylated 317-Tyr residue of Shc can bind to the
SH2 domain of both Grb2 and SHIP, SHIP expression may compete with Shc
for Grb2 binding. Therefore, insulin-induced Shc association with Grb2
was next examined in the SHIP-transfected cells. As shown in Fig. 5A
, after insulin stimulation, Shc
associated with Grb2 in a time-dependent manner in the mock transfected
HIRc cells. Expression of WT-SHIP led to a decrease in the Shc·Grb2
association. Although insulin-induced Shc association with Grb2 was
also decreased by expression of 2F-SHIP, it was not significantly
affected by expression of
SH2-SHIP. These results with the
time-course of Shc association with Grb2 are summarized in Fig. 5B
.
Following 5 min of insulin stimulation, the Shc·Grb2 association was
decreased to 68 ± 2% and 71 ± 3% by expression of WT-SHIP
and 2F-SHIP, respectively, compared with that in HIRc cells. In
contrast, the Shc·Grb2 association was not apparently affected in
SH2-SHIP cells. To ensure equal Shc immunoprecipitation, the
anti-Shc immunoprecipitates were also immunoblotted with anti-Shc
antibody (Fig. 5C
). In addition, comparable expression of SHIP
constructs among the transfected cells was confirmed by immunoblotting
of the cell lysates with anti-GST antibody (Fig. 5D
). These data
suggest that SHIP competes via its SH2 domain with Shc for binding to
Grb2.

Effect of SHIP expression on insulin-induced MAP kinase
activation
Shc·Grb2 binding has been shown to be important for MAP kinase
activation (3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). Because phosphorylation of both tyrosine and
threonine residues of MAP kinase is implicated in the activation (36, 37), we examined the effect of SHIP expression on insulin-induced MAP
kinase activation using phospho-specific MAP kinase antibody. As can be
seen in Fig. 6A
, insulin activated MAP
kinase in a time-dependent manner. In accordance with the results of
Shc·Grb2 association, expression of WT-SHIP led to a decreased
insulin-activated MAP kinase. Likewise, the MAP kinase activity was
significantly reduced by expression of 2F-SHIP. In contrast,
insulin-induced MAP kinase activation was not apparently impaired by
expression of
SH2-SHIP. The time course of insulin-stimulated MAP
kinase activation is summarized in Fig. 6B
. After 5 min of insulin
stimulation, expression of WT-SHIP and 2F-SHIP resulted in a modest
reduction of MAP kinase activity to 68 ± 3% and 70 ± 2%,
respectively, compared with the mock transfected HIRc cells. In
contrast, expression of
SH2-SHIP decreased it only to 89 ±
3%. To ensure equal amount of protein used for the study, the cell
lysates were immunoblotted with anti-MAP kinase antibody (Fig. 6C
). In
addition, comparable expression of SHIP constructs among the
transfected cells was also confirmed by immunoblotting of the cell
lysates with anti-GST antibody (Fig. 6D
).

Insulin-induced thymidine incorporation in the transfected
cells
We have reported that overexpression of Shc increases
insulin-induced Shc association with Grb2 resulting in enhanced MAP
kinase activation and thymidine incorporation (8). Because SHIP appears
to compete, via its SH2 domain, with Shc for binding to Grb2 leading to
MAP kinase activation, thymidine incorporation was assayed in the
SHIP-transfected cells as shown in Fig. 7
. Insulin stimulated thymidine
incorporation in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50
value of 1.3 ± 0.2 nM in HIRc cells transfected with
pEBG vector alone. Expression of WT-SHIP resulted in decreased insulin
sensitivity with a rightward shift of the dose-response curve
(ED50 value, 6.0 ± 0.5 nM;
P < 0.001 vs. Mock). Insulin sensitivity
was also significantly reduced by expression of 2F-SHIP
(ED50 value, 5.2 ± 0.4 nM;
P < 0.005 vs. Mock). In contrast,
insulin-stimulated thymidine incorporation was only slightly affected
and the reduction of insulin sensitivity was not apparent by expression
of
SH2-SHIP (ED50 value, 1.9 ± 0.4 nM;
p = N.S.). The maximum values of insulin-stimulated thymidine
incorporation were also relatively decreased in WT-SHIP and 2F-SHIP
cells compared with that in Mock and
SH2-SHIP cells. However, the
difference in insulin responsiveness was not statistically significant
among the transfected cells.
Effect of coexpression of Shc and SHIP on insulin-induced thymidine
incorporation
Because expression of SHIP decreased insulin sensitivity for
insulin-induced thymidine incorporation because of possible
sequestration of Shc from binding to Grb2, coexpression of Shc might
compensate the reduced insulin sensitivity by SHIP expression. To
address this issue, insulin-induced thymidine incorporation was
examined by coexpression of WT-Shc and WT-SHIP. Transient expression of
Shc led to enhanced insulin sensitivity with an ED50 value
of 0.8 ± 0.1 nM (P < 0.05
vs. Mock) as we previously reported in stably Shc
overexpressed cells (8). Although expression of WT-SHIP decreased
insulin sensitivity for insulin-induced thymidine incorporation,
cotransfection of Shc with WT-SHIP partly compensate the decreased
insulin sensitivity by expression of WT-SHIP alone, and the insulin
sensitivity was partly improved with an ED50 value of
2.5 ± 0.5 nM (Fig. 8
). These data further indicate
that SHIP is a negatively regulating molecule by competing with Shc to
mediate insulins mitogenic effects.
Insulin-induced BrdU incorporation in the transfected cells
Because the transfection efficiency in the study may affect the
results with thymidine incorporation studies, we also assessed
insulin-induced mitogenesis by the independent approach of BrdU
incorporation as shown in Fig. 9
.
BrdU incorporation in the cells that are transfected with various SHIP
constructs can be unambiguously detectable by examing the BrdU labeling
combined with cytoplasmic immunofluorescent staining of the tagged
exogenous SHIP proteins. The study with BrdU incorporation showed the
basically same results as the results with thymidine incorporation
studies. Basal BrdU incorporation was 10
15%, and it was not
significantly different among the transfected cells. Insulin-induced
BrdU incorporation to 64 ± 3% in the Mock transfected cells.
Expression of Shc increased insulin-stimulated BrdU incorporation to
74 ± 1%. In agreement with the results of thymidine
incorporation studies, insulin-stimulated BrdU incorporation was
decreased to 35 ± 6% and 41 ± 6% by expression of WT-SHIP
and 2F-SHIP, respectively. In addition, expression of
SH2-SHIP only
slightly decreased insulin-stimulated BrdU incorporation to 60 ±
3%. Furthermore, the reduction of BrdU incorporation by expression of
WT-SHIP was again compensated by coexpression of Shc, and 63 ±
1% of the cells were positive for BrdU incorporation by cotransfection
of WT-SHIP and Shc.

Discussion

|---|
Activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3'-kinase by receptors for
growth factors including insulin has been implicated as a critical step
in mitogenic signaling (38, 39, 40). Previous studies showed that blockade
of PI3'-kinase function either by expression of dominant negative p85
regulatory subunit of PI3'-kinase, by microinjection of N-terminal SH2
domain of p85, or by employment with pharmacological inhibitors
inhibited insulin-induced mitogenesis (38, 39, 40). Because the product of
PI3'-kinase, PtdIns (3, 4, 5) P3, is presumed to function at the
downstream signaling, one can speculate that down-regulation of the
PI3'-kinase product negatively regulates insulin-induced mitogenic
signaling. Recently, SHIP was identified as a member of the inositol
5'-phosphatase family, which hydrolyzes the 5'-phosphate from both
inositol- and phosphatidylinositol-phosphatases (12, 13, 14, 15).
Because PtdIns (3, 4, 5) P3 is a substrate for SHIP (12, 13, 14, 15), SHIP
may regulate PI3'-kinase mediated insulins effect by hydrolyzing
PtdIns (3, 4, 5) P3 to PtdIns (3, 4) P2. Along this line, expression of
SHIP inhibited Xenopus oocytes maturation induced by insulin and a
constitutively active PI3'-kinase. Because insulin-induced germinal
vesicle breakdown (GVBD) is thought to be mainly mediated by
PI3'-kinase in oocytes, the catalytic activity of SHIP appears to have
a critical role in regulating insulin-induced GVBD (23). More recently,
it has been reported that insulin-induced Glut4 translocation can be
negatively regulated by expression of SHIP (41). There is now
increasing evidence that SHIP acts as a negative regulator of
signaling. Expression of SHIP in myeloid cells led to inhibition of the
cell growth (12). SHIP associates with the inhibitory Fc
receptor
IIB subunit (Fc
RIIB) and is implicated in Fc
RIIB
receptor-mediated negative signaling in B cells and mast cells
(20, 21, 22). By targeted disruption of SHIP, numbers of
granulocyte-macrophage progenitors were increased as a consequence of
hyperresponsiveness to stimulation by macrophage-colony stimulating
factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor,
interleukin-3, and steel factor (42). In this regard, our results
further extended the notion of negative regulatory role of SHIP during
insulin action.
In addition to the negative regulatory role of SHIP presumably through
its catalytic activity, SHIP can possibly regulate cell proliferation
by modulating the p21ras pathway because the carboxyl-terminus tyrosine
phosphorylation sites (917/1020-Tyr) of SHIP can bind to the PTB domain
of Shc and the SH2 domain of SHIP can interact with the phosphorylated
317-Tyr residue of Shc in vitro (16, 17). In fact, SHIP
could interact with Shc via either SHIP SH2 domain or the
carboxyl-terminus tyrosine residues, whereas the interaction via SHIP
carboxyl-tyrosines appeared to be relatively greater significance.
These results are consistent with the previous reports showing that
SHIP interaction via the carboxyl-terminal tyrosines is a
predominant mechanism, whereas SHIP SH2 domain also has a role to
interact with Shc (16, 17).
Following insulin stimulation, tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor
substrates (IRS) and Shc can potentially independently propagate the
signal of the activated insulin receptor to Grb2·Sos and stimulation
of p21ras-GTP formation (5, 43). However, Shc·Grb2·Sos rather than
IRS·Grb2·Sos is shown to be a predominant signaling pathway
coupling insulin receptors to p21ras for MAP kinase activation in HIRc
cells (5, 43). Our results demonstrated that expression of WT-SHIP
inhibited insulin-induced Shc·Grb2 association. The reduction of
Shc·Grb2 association was correlated with decreased MAP kinase
activity and thymidine incorporation in WT-SHIP cells. In addition, the
decrease of insulin-stimulated thymidine incorporation by expression of
WT-SHIP was partly compensated by coexpression of Shc. These results
indicate that SHIP negatively modulates insulin-induced mitogenesis by
apparently regulating Shc·Grb2 pathway in insulin signaling. In
addition, expression of the mutant SHIP lacking the SH2 domain only
slightly affected insulin-induced Shc·Grb2 association, MAP kinase
activation, and thymidine incorporation. Furthermore, in accordance
with the results in B65UtA1, DA-3, and Ba/F3 cells (35), we were unable
to detect Grb2 in the anti-SHIP immunoprecipitates or SHIP in the
anti-Grb2 immunoprecipitates in HIRc cells (data not shown), indicating
that individual SHIP·Shc and Grb2·Shc complexes would exist.
Although our data are consistent with a notion of competition between
SHIP and Grb2 for Shc, we cannot exclude a role for the SH2 domain of
SHIP indirectly having an effect on Shc·Grb2 complex. Similarly, we
cannot rule out a role for the SHIP-SH2 domain in regulating insulin
mediated mitogenesis independent of the effect on Shc·Grb2 complex
formation. On the other hand, our results are not in agreement with the
report showing that injection of SHIP complementary DNA (cDNA)
containing the inactivating SH2 domain mutation functioned almost
similarly to inhibit insulin-induced GVBD in oocytes compared with that
of wild-type SHIP (23). The different role of the SH2 domain of SHIP
may arise from the cells used for these analyses. In this regard,
PI3'-kinase plays an important role even in the activation of
p21ras-MAP kinase pathway as well as the maturation in oocytes (23).
The modulation of Shc·Grb2 pathway for p21ras activation may not have
a critical role in the cells. In Rat1 fibroblasts, however, p21ras-MAP
kinase pathway is independent of PI3'-kinase pathway (4, 5). Thus, a
MEK inhibitor, i.e. PD98059, did not affect insulin-induced
PI3'-kinase activity (data not shown). Conversely, pharmacological
inhibitor of PI3'-kinase, i.e. wortmannin or LY294002, did
not affect insulin stimulation of MAP kinase activity (data not shown).
Consequently, insulin signal to Shc·Grb2 pathway could play an
important role in p21ras-MAP kinase activation ultimately leading to
cell cycle progression in Rat1 fibroblasts.
SHIP becomes tyrosine phosphorylated following activation of the
hemopoietic cell surface receptors for numerous cytokines (30, 31, 32, 33, 34).
However, it was uncertain whether insulin could induce SHIP
phosphorylation. Our results clearly demonstrated that insulin could
induce tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP. Based on the phosphotyrosine
binding consensus motif, two tyrosines, Tyr-917 and Tyr-1020, in the
carboxyl-terminal region of SHIP were identified as phosphorylation
sites for binding to Shc-PTB domain (17). In addition, insulin-induced
tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP is modulated by the SH2 domain of SHIP
because the time course of
SH2-SHIP phosphorylation was somewhat
delayed. These results are consistent with the previous findings
showing that the SH2 domain is required for SHIP tyrosine
phosphorylation in response to IL3 in DA-ER cells (16), and that
phosphorylation of carboxyl-tyrosine residues of SHIP is important for
SHIP interaction with Shc (17). Thus, the interaction between SHIP and
Shc may compete with Shc·insulin receptor association (8, 24).
Consequently, expression of SHIP may impose an impact on Shc·Grb2
pathway by affecting tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc. However, it was
not the case in Rat1 fibroblasts. Insulin-induced tyrosine
phosphorylation of Shc was not affected by expression of either WT-,
SH2-, or 2F-SHIP. Furthermore, expression of 2F-SHIP as well as
WT-SHIP inhibited insulin-induced Shc·Grb2 association and MAP kinase
activation. These results indicate that SHIP does not regulate insulin
signaling at the level of Shc tyrosine phosphorylation. However, we
cannot exclude the possibility that SHIP carboxyl-terminus tyrosines
contribute, albeit it is lesser extent, to insulin-induced
mitogenesis, because the degree of inhibition in insulin-induced
thymidine and BrdU incorporation was slightly less in 2F-SHIP cells
than that in WT-SHIP cells as shown in Figs. 7
and 9
.
Although our results argue against the principal role of SHIP tyrosine
phosphorylation in insulin-induced mitogenic signaling via Shc·Grb2
pathway, one can speculate that SHIP tyrosine phosphorylation may
modulate the 5'-phosphatase activity of SHIP, as tyrosine
phosphorylation of SHIP was reported to negatively regulate the
5'-phosphatase activity in RBL-2H3 cells (44). Thus, constitutive
phosphorylation of SHIP with elevated PtdIns (3, 4, 5) P3 levels is
observed in Bcr-Abl-transformed cells (45). Alternatively, it has been
shown that tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP does not affect its
5'-phosphatase in FDC-P1/Fms cells (12) and B6SUtA1 cells (13), whereas
it may be required for adequate SHIP localization. Along this line,
tyrosine-phosphorylated SHIP can also associate with p85 regulatory
subunit of PI3-kinase after cytokine stimulation (46, 47). SHIP has
been shown to associate with p85 subunit only via phosphorylated SHIP
917-Tyr residue (47). Therefore, it is possible that SHIP association
with Shc and/or p85, via phosphorylated C-terminal tyrosine residue(s),
may be important for the adequate localization of SHIP for its
functioning. Because the importance of 5'-phosphatase activity of SHIP
has been reported by using catalytically inactive SHIP in
insulin-induced Xenopus oocyte maturation (23) and Glut4 translocation
(41), the role of tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP in its function
related to the regulation of the 5'-phosphatase activity remains to be
elucidated.
SHIP is expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells and plays a negative
regulatory role (12, 13, 14). In fact, we could only detect a small amount
of SHIP in Rat1 fibroblasts. Recently, human SHIP2, which is closely
related to SHIP, has been cloned and shown to be more widely expressed
in Northern blot analysis (48). Along this line, insulin-induced
tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP2 was reported in 3T3-L1 adipocytes,
indicating a role in insulin signaling (49). Because expression of
considerable levels of SHIP2 was seen in Rat1 fibroblasts (data not
shown), present results with SHIP overexpression might be indication of
the role of SHIP2.
In summary, SHIP plays an negative regulatory role in insulin-induced
mitogenesis. The SH2 domain of SHIP is important for its negative
regulatory function, at least in part, by negatively modulating
Shc·Grb2 pathway in Rat1 fibroblasts.
