PMID- 10497257 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 19991102 LR - 20190508 IS - 0021-9258 (Print) IS - 0021-9258 (Linking) VI - 274 IP - 40 DP - 1999 Oct 1 TI - The shedding of membrane-anchored heparin-binding epidermal-like growth factor is regulated by the Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade and by cell adhesion and spreading. PG - 28828-35 AB - Heparin-binding epidermal-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is synthesized as a transmembrane precursor (HB-EGF(TM)). The addition of phorbol ester (PMA, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) to cells expressing HB-EGF(TM) results in the metalloproteinase-dependent release (shedding) of soluble HB-EGF. To analyze mechanisms that regulate HB-EGF shedding, a stable cell line was established expressing HB-EGF(TM) in which the ectodomain and the cytoplasmic tail were tagged with hemagglutinin (HA) and Myc epitopes, respectively (HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc). HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc cleavage was followed by the appearance of soluble HB-EGFHA in conditioned medium, the loss of biotinylated cell-surface HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc, and the appearance of a Myc-tagged cytoplasmic tail fragment in cell lysates. By using this approach, several novel metalloproteinase-dependent regulators of HB-EGF(TM) shedding were identified as follows. (i) HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc shedding induced by PMA was blocked by the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase inhibitor, PD98059. PMA activated MAP kinase within 5 min, but HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc shedding did not occur until 20 min, suggesting that MAP kinase activation was a necessary step in the pathway of PMA-induced HB-EGF(TM) cleavage. (ii) Activation of an inducible Raf-1 kinase, DeltaRaf-1:estrogen receptor, resulted in a rapid MAP kinase activation within 10 min and shedding of HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc within 20-40 min. (iii) Serum induced MAP kinase activation and HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc shedding that were inhibited by PD98059. (iv) Whereas PMA induced HB-EGF(TM)HA/Myc shedding in attached cells, no shedding occurred when the cells were placed in suspension. Shedding was fully restored shortly after cells were allowed to spread on fibronectin, and the extent of PMA-induced shedding increased with the extent of cell spreading. PMA induced the same level of MAP kinase activation whether the cells were attached or in suspension suggesting that although MAP kinase activation might be necessary for shedding, it was not sufficient. Taken together, these results suggest that there are two components of cell regulation that contribute to the shedding process, not previously recognized, the Raf-1/MAP kinase signal transduction pathway and cell adhesion and spreading.
