Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Amplification of the c-erbB2 gene and overexpression of p185erbB2 is found in approximately one-third of primary breast and ovarian cancers and also in some colon carcinomas. Moreover, a single point mutation in erbB2(V 664 E) confers transforming potential to erbB2 in NIH3T3 cells, even when expressed at low levels. To examine the transformation potential of erbB2 or erbB2(V-E) in colon epithelial cells, we have transfected a nontumorigenic clone of SW 613-S cells with either wild-type p185erbB2 or mutated p185erbB2(V-E). In contrast to p185erbB2, p185erbB2(V-E) associated constitutively with members of the Shc protein family, leading to phosphorylation of Shc and to stimulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase). However, constitutive activation of MAP kinase activation in p185erbB2(V-E) expressing cells did not result in a tumorigenic phenotype. In addition, p185erbB2(V-E) expressing cells displayed a reduced ability to grow in soft agar compared to the parental cell line. In contrast these transfected cells were able to grow in three-dimensional collagen gels, whereas parental cells were not. Thus, expression of erbB2(V-E) in SW 613-S cells induced multiple changes in intracellular signaling and in growth requirement phenotype, particularly in response to the extracellular environment.
