          Abstract

          Previous in vitro studies indicated that aldosterone nongenomically phosphorylates epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) through activation of upstream signals, heat shock protein 90 β (Hsp90 β ), and cytosolic (c)-Src kinase. We demonstrated that aldosterone rapidly elevates EGFR phosphorylation in rat kidney. There are no in vivo data regarding renal Hsp90( α and β ) and phosphorylated (p)c-Src protein expressions. The present study further investigates the expressions of these proteins. Male Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline solution or aldosterone (Aldo: 150  μ g/kg BW). After 30 minutes, abundances and localizations of these proteins were determined. Aldosterone enhanced renal Hsp90 β protein abundance ( P < 0.001), but Hsp90 α and pc-Src protein levels remained unaltered. Expression of Hsp90( α and β ) was induced prominently in the proximal convoluted tubules (PCTs). Activation of Hsp90 α was observed in vascular and outer medulla regions, whereas Hsp90 β was induced in the cortex. Immunoreactivity of pc-Src was elevated in PCT with obvious staining at the luminal membrane. This in vivo study is the first to demonstrate that aldosterone nongenomically elevates Hsp90( α and β ) protein expressions in rat kidney. Aldosterone had no effect on pc-Src protein levels but modulated localization. These results indicate that aldosterone regulates upstream mediators of EGFR transactivation in vivo.

          Epidermal growth factor receptors harboring kinase domain mutations associate with the heat shock protein 90 chaperone and are destabilized following exposure to geldanamycins.

          Somatic mutations in the kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), including L858R and exon 19 deletions, underlie responsiveness to gefitinib and erlotinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Acquired resistance to these tyrosine kinase inhibitors is in some cases mediated by a second mutation, T790M. Ansamycin antibiotics, such as geldanamycin, potently inhibit heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), promoting ubiquitin-mediated degradation of oncogenic kinases that require the chaperone for proper conformational folding. Here, we show that L858R and deletion mutant EGFR proteins found in NSCLC interact with the chaperone and are sensitive to degradation following Hsp90 inhibition. In NIH/3T3 cells expressing either wild-type or mutant EGFR, diminution of expression of both L858R and EGFR delL747-S752, P753S occurred following exposure to 50 nmol/L geldanamycin over 24 hours, whereas partial diminution of wild-type EGFR required a minimum of 200 nmol/L drug. In time course experiments, mutant EGFR expression was depleted after only 4 hours of exposure to 1 micromol/L geldanamycin, whereas diminution of wild-type EGFR was less substantial and seen only following 12 hours. Similarly, EGFR proteins in NSCLC cell lines harboring EGFR mutations, including NCI-H1650, NCI-H3255, and NCI-H1975, were also more sensitive to geldanamycin-induced degradation compared with the protein in wild-type cells. Exposure of EGFR-mutant cell lines to geldanamycin induced marked depletion of phospho-Akt and cyclin D1 as well as apoptosis. These data suggest mutational activation of EGFR is associated with dependence on Hsp90 for stability and that Hsp90 inhibition may represent a novel strategy for the treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

            Aldosterone activates vascular p38MAP kinase and NADPH oxidase via c-Src.

            Increasing evidence indicates that aldosterone elicits vascular effects through nongenomic signaling pathways. We tested the hypothesis that aldosterone induces activation of vascular mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and NADPH oxidase via c-Src-dependent mechanisms in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Aldosterone effects on activation of c-Src, p38MAP kinase, and NADPH oxidase, and incorporation of [3H]proline, an index of collagen synthesis, were assessed in cultured rat VSMCs. Studies were performed in the absence and presence of eplerenone, a selective mineralocorticoid receptor blocker, PP2, a selective Src inhibitor, and SB212190, a selective p38MAPK inhibitor. Phosphorylation of c-Src was dose-dependently increased by aldosterone, with maximal responses obtained at 10(-7) mol/L. Aldosterone increased p38MAP kinase phosphorylation, NAD(P)H oxidase activation, and [3H]proline incorporation. These responses were abrogated by eplerenone and almost abolished by PP2. Aldosterone-stimulated incorporation of [3H]proline was significantly reduced by SB212190, indicating that p38MAP kinase plays a role in profibrotic actions of aldosterone. To unambiguously demonstrate the importance of aldosterone in c-Src signaling, VSMCs from c-Src+/+ and c-Src+/- mice were also studied. Aldosterone increased phosphorylation of c-Src, p38MAP kinase, and cortactin, a Src-specific substrate, in c-Src+/+ VSMCs, but not in c-Src-deficient cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that nongenomic signaling by aldosterone occurs through c-Src-dependent pathways. These processes may play an important role in profibrotic actions of aldosterone.

              c-Src phosphorylates epidermal growth factor receptor on tyrosine 845.

              In the previous study [Sato et al. (1995) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 210, 844-851], we found that c-Src was associated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and activated upon EGF treatment in A431 cells. In the present study, we investigated the phosphorylation of EGF receptor by c-Src in the c-Src-EGF receptor complex. We have focused our attention to tyrosine residue 845 (Y845) of EGF receptor as a candidate for the phosphorylation site. A synthetic peptide containing Y845, named Y845 peptide, which corresponds to residue 837 to 856 of EGF receptor, was found to be phosphorylated by c-Src and used to provide the standard phosphopeptide. In addition to the autophosphorylated peptide of 25 kDa, a phosphopeptide of 7 kDa was detected in the cyanogen bromide-digested fragments of the c-Src-associated EGF receptor phosphorylated in vitro in an EGF-dependent manner. In phosphopeptide mapping, tryptic digest of the 7-kDa phosphopeptide was shown to co-migrate with that of the phosphorylated Y845 peptide. The 7-kDa phosphopeptide was found to be phosphorylated exclusively on tyrosine. These results suggest that c-Src can phosphorylate EGF receptor on Y845 in an EGF-dependent manner. Furthermore, we confirmed that the same site of the c-Src-associated EGF receptor was phosphorylated in EGF-treated A431 cells.
