To investigate the role of nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) in 1-integrin-
mediated adhesion and signaling, we transfected mouse
L cells with normal and catalytically inactive forms of
the phosphatase. Parental cells and cells expressing the
wild-type or mutant PTP1B were assayed for (a) adhesion, (b) spreading, (c) presence of focal adhesions and
stress fibers, and (d) tyrosine phosphorylation. Parental
cells and cells expressing wild-type PTP1B show similar
morphology, are able to attach and spread on fibronectin, and form focal adhesions and stress fibers. In contrast, cells expressing the inactive PTP1B have a spindle-shaped morphology, reduced adhesion and
spreading on fibronectin, and almost a complete absence of focal adhesions and stress fibers. Attachment
to fibronectin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of focal
adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin in parental cells
and cells transfected with the wild-type PTP1B, while in
cells transfected with the mutant PTP1B, such induction is not observed. Additionally, in cells expressing
the mutant PTP1B, tyrosine phosphorylation of Src is
enhanced and activity is reduced. Lysophosphatidic
acid temporarily reverses the effects of the mutant
PTP1B, suggesting the existence of a signaling pathway
triggering focal adhesion assembly that bypasses the
need for active PTP1B. PTP1B coimmunoprecipitates with
1-integrin from nonionic detergent extracts and
colocalizes with vinculin and the ends of actin stress fibers in focal adhesions. Our data suggest that PTP1B is
a critical regulatory component of integrin signaling
pathways, which is essential for adhesion, spreading,
and formation of focal adhesions.

AN increasing body of evidence indicates that the function of adhesion receptors is controlled by signaling pathways regulating their association with the
cytoskeleton (for reviews see Luna and Hitt, 1992; Gumbiner, 1993
; Lilien et al., 1997
; Yamada and Geiger, 1997
).
A major feature of these signaling pathways is tyrosine
phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of proteins that link or modulate the interaction of adhesion receptors with the
actin-containing cytoskeleton. Among cadherins, this linkage is mediated by
- and
- or
-catenin (for reviews see
Kemler, 1993
; Aberle et al., 1996
). Hyperphosphorylation
of
-catenin on tyrosine residues is correlated with the loss
of cadherin function (Behrens et al., 1993
; Hamaguchi et
al., 1993
; Balsamo et al., 1996
; Daniel and Reynolds, 1997
;
Hazan and Norton, 1998
; Ozawa and Kemler, 1998
) and
destabilization or loss of the actin-cadherin linkage (Balsamo et al., 1996
; Fujii et al., 1996
; Daniel and Reynolds,
1997
; Hazan and Norton, 1998
; Ozawa and Kemler, 1998
).
Our laboratory has shown that, in retinal cells, dephosphorylation of
-catenin by the nonreceptor protein tyrosine
phosphatase PTP1B is essential for N-cadherin function
(Balsamo et al., 1996
). Moreover, in fibroblasts constitutively expressing N-cadherin that are transfected with a
dominant-negative mutant PTP1B,
-catenin retains phosphate on tyrosine residues, N-cadherin is uncoupled from
the cytoskeleton, and N-cadherin-mediated adhesion is
lost (Balsamo et al., 1998
).
Tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is also
critical to integrin-mediated adhesion and focal contact
formation (for reviews see Clark and Brugge, 1995;
Schwartz et al., 1995
; Jockusch et al., 1995
; Parsons, 1996
;
Yamada, 1997
). Vinculin, talin, and
-actinin, which are
prominent structural components of focal contacts, mediate the anchorage of actin stress fibers at these sites (for
reviews see Burridge et al., 1988
; Jockusch et al., 1995
;
Burridge and Chrzanowska-Wodnicka, 1996
). Other proteins of focal adhesions, such as paxillin and p130Cas, appear to function as adaptors, while focal adhesion kinase
(FAK)1 and Src, among others, are important intracellular
signaling components (for reviews see Jockusch et al.,
1995
; Schwartz et al., 1995
; Burridge and Chrzanowska-Wodnicka, 1996
). Recent mutational studies have outlined
a sequence of tyrosine phosphorylation events after integrin engagement. Early in this sequence, tyrosine 397 on
FAK is autophosphorylated, creating a high-affinity binding site for the SH2 domain of the Src family kinases, recruiting Src and/or Fyn into integrin complexes (Lipfert
et al., 1992
; Schaller et al., 1994
; Xing et al., 1994
; Eide et al.,
1995
). Recruitment and activation of Src leads to phosphorylation of FAK on additional tyrosine residues, contributing to its full activation and to the recruitment of additional proteins to integrin complexes (Calalb et al., 1995
;
Brown and Cooper, 1996
; Hanks and Polte, 1997
; Parsons
and Parsons, 1997
). The formation of this complex appears
to be important for tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream targets, including paxillin (Schaller and Parsons, 1995
). A late manifestation of this chain of tyrosine phosphorylations, in which FAK and Src are primary actors, is
the assembly of focal adhesions. Consistent with a role for
tyrosine kinases in focal contact assembly, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimicin A inhibits the phosphorylation
of FAK and paxillin and the formation of focal adhesions
and stress fibers among fibroblasts plated on fibronectin (Burridge et al., 1992
). The balance between tyrosine
phosphorylation and dephosphorylation appears to be
critical to the normal assembly of focal adhesions. Expression of v-Src (Rohrschneider, 1980
; Nigg et al., 1982
; Krueger et al., 1983
; Nermut et al., 1991
) or deregulated c-Src
(Howel and Cooper, 1994
; Thomas et al., 1995
) leads to
hyperphosphorylation of focal adhesion components, aberrant formation of focal adhesion sites, and alteration of
the actin cytoskeleton.
While tyrosine kinases have been a major focus of attention in the analysis of focal adhesion formation and in the
tyrosine phosphorylation occurring after integrin-matrix
interaction, a potential role for tyrosine phosphatases in
focal adhesion assembly is beginning to emerge. Several
lines of evidence suggest that PTP1B may play a role. Engagement of integrins in platelets and T lymphocytes is accompanied by cleavage of PTP1B from a 50- to a 42-kD
form and by its translocation to the cytoskeleton (Frangioni et al., 1993; Ezumi et al., 1995
; Rock et al., 1997
).
Both the full-length and the proteolytically processed
forms of PTP1B associate with and dephosphorylate
p130Cas, an adaptor molecule found in focal adhesion
complexes (Liu et al., 1996
; Rock et al., 1997
). A proline-rich region near the COOH terminus of PTP1B is essential for association with the Src-homology 3 domain of p130Cas
(Liu et al., 1996
, 1998
).
In the present work we report that the expression of a catalytically inactive PTP1B, but not the wild-type, blocks integrin-mediated cell adhesion and spreading. We also present evidence indicating that PTP1B associates with integrin-containing complexes in focal adhesions. Furthermore, the catalytically inactive form of PTP1B blocks the fibronectin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin, suggesting that PTP1B plays a role in regulating the function of critical tyrosine kinases such as Src and FAK. We discuss potential mechanisms through which PTP1B may affect this signaling pathway.

1-integrin was a generous gift of Dr. Ruoslahti (The Burnham Institute, La Jolla, CA).
Monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody (clone 4G10) and polyclonal
anti-PTP1B antibody were from Upstate Biotechnology, Inc. (Lake
Placid, NY), and the monoclonal anti-human vinculin (clone hVIN-1) and
phalloidin-TRITC were from Sigma Chemical Co. Polyclonal, anti-cSrc
antibody was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). Peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG and FITC-conjugated goat anti-rat
IgG were from Cappel (Organon Teknika Corp., Durham, NC). Peroxidase-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG, FITC-conjugated donkey anti-
mouse IgG, and FITC-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG were from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories (West Grove, PA). The polyclonal
anti-GFP antibody was from CLONTECH Laboratories (Palo Alto, CA).
Cell Culture and Transfection
Mouse L cell fibroblasts were cultured in DME (GIBCO BRL) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum. Stable transfectants expressing the
wild-type chick PTP1B or an inactive form with a mutation in the active
site (C215S) were prepared as described (Balsamo et al., 1998). In brief,
catalytically inactive (C215S) PTP1B was created by site-directed mutagenesis and recombinant PCR. A c-myc tag was added in frame to the 5'
end of both the wild-type and mutant PTP1B cDNA, and the constructs
were cloned into the eukaryotic vector pcDNA3.1/zeo (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and delivered to cells using Lipofectin (GIBCO BRL). Transfected cells were selected by culturing in the presence of 500 µg/ml zeocin (Invitrogen). Individual clones were selected and expanded for analysis,
and multiple aliquots were frozen. To avoid potential changes in each cell
line, each aliquot of frozen cells was used for no more than 2 wk.
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged PTP1B was prepared using the pEGFP-C3 vector (CLONTECH Laboratories). Wild-type and C215S mutant chick PTP1B cDNAs were amplified by PCR using primers that create restriction enzymes sites for XhoI at the 5' end and XbaI at the 3' end. The resulting fragments were cloned in frame into the XhoI and XbaI sites of pEGFP-C3. The fusion proteins contained the GFP at the NH2 terminus of PTP1B. After verifying all the constructs by sequencing, stable L cell lines were selected with G418. L cells transiently expressing the GFP-PTP1B construct were prepared using Lipofectin, and the cells were processed for analysis after 24-48 h.
Reverse Transcription PCR
Expression of transfected chick PTP1B was assessed by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). In brief, total RNA was isolated from cultured cells
using a Qiagen kit (Chatsworth, CA) and reverse transcribed with Superscript II and oligo dT primers (GIBCO BRL). The resulting cDNA was
used to amplify PTP1B by two rounds of PCR. Primers used for the first
round were specific to the c-myc tag and the chicken PTP1B sequence.
The first primer set was 5' GAGCAAAAGCTCATTTCTGAAGAG 3'
from the c-myc tag and 5' TTCACCAACAGTTCTCCTCC 3' from the
chick PTP1B. The second primer set was 5' CGCTTAACCCTGAGTATGGACCTG 3' (nucleotides 718-727) and 5' AGCAGTGCTGACTGAGCATCTTATC 3' (nucleotides 1154-1130), both from the chick
PTP1B sequence (sequence data available from GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ
under accession number U86410; Balsamo et al., 1998). For amplification of
the mouse
-actin cDNA (accession number X03672), the primers used corresponded to nucleotides 225-278 at the 5' end and 1023-1003 at the 3' end.
Flow Cytometry
Surface expression of 1-integrin was analyzed in parental (LP) cells and
cells expressing the wild-type (LWT) and mutant (LMU) PTP1B. The
cells were grown in culture for 1-2 d and detached by a brief incubation
with 0.06% trypsin. The trypsin was inactivated by addition of 1 mM (4-[2-aminoethyl]benzenesulfonylfluoride) (AEBSF; Calbiochem). Cells were
collected by centrifugation, resuspended, and incubated in DME/0.1%
BSA for 30 min at 4°C. Primary antibodies (20 µg/ml of either rat anti-
mouse
5
1-integrin or rat anti-mouse
1-integrin subunit) were then
added, and the cells were incubated for an additional 30 min at 4°C. After
three washes with DME, the cells were incubated with FITC-conjugated
goat anti-rat IgG for 30 min at 4°C, washed three times with DME and
once with PBS (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 1.8 mM
KH2PO4, pH 7.4), and fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde. Fluorescence was
analyzed on a Becton Dickinson FACScan® (Bedford, MA). Background
fluorescence was assessed in cells immunostained with normal rat IgG (20 µg/ml) as primary antibody, followed by FITC-conjugated goat anti-rat
IgG. 5,000 cells per sample were analyzed.
Immunofluorescence Microscopy
LP, LWT, and LMU cells were grown on acid-washed round coverslips
(Fisher Scientific) coated with 20 µg/ml fibronectin (FN) (overnight, 4°C).
At the indicated times, cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde in PBS
for 20 min at 4°C, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 min at room temperature, and blocked with 3% BSA in PBS for 30 min.
Cells were then incubated with either of the following monoclonal antibodies: mouse anti-FAK (2.5 µg/ml), mouse antipaxillin (2.5 µg/ml), rat
anti-1-integrin (20 µg/ml), or mouse antivinculin (5 µg/ml). Incubations
were carried out in a humid chamber for 1 h at 37°C. Cells were washed three times with PBS and incubated for a similar period with a combination of 0.5 mg/ml TRITC-phalloidin (Sigma Chemical Co.) and 1/60 dilution of either FITC-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG or FITC-conjugated goat anti-rat IgG. After washing thoroughly, samples were mounted
in 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.5/glycerol (1:4, vol/vol) containing 1 mg/ml p-phenylendiamine. Stained cells were observed using a universal microscope
(Carl Zeiss, Inc., Thornwood, NY) equipped for epifluorescence. Images
were captured with a SenSys CCD camera (Photometrics, Tucson, AZ)
and analyzed with a Metamorph image analysis system, version 2 (Universal Imaging Corp., West Chester, PA).
Subcellular localization of GFP and GFP-PTP1B fusion proteins was examined with a laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss, Inc.) using a 488-nm argon laser. GFP expression was analyzed after paraformaldehyde fixation. For colocalization analysis, cells were fixed and permeabilized as indicated above. In this case, GFP and GFP fusion proteins were detected with a polyclonal anti-GFP antibody followed by an FITC-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG. Images were printed on a color printer (model 8650 PS; Eastman Kodak Corp., Rochester, NY).
Staining of the endoplasmic reticulum was performed using rhodamine B hexyl ester. Living cells were incubated 1 min with 1 µg/ml of the dye, washed three times with PBS, and fixed. Observations were carried out in a confocal microscope using a 543-nm helium-neon laser.
Electrophoresis, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blots
Cultured cells were rinsed quickly with cold TBS (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH
7.4, 137 mM NaCl) containing 0.5 mM NaVO3 and removed from the culture dish in the same buffer containing 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM PMSF, 10 µg/ml leupeptin, 2.5 mM NaVO3, and 10 mM NaF. Cell lysates were incubated at 4°C for 15 min, with rotation, and then centrifuged for 2 min in a
microcentrifuge (Eppendorf, Madison, WI) at maximum speed. Approximately 1 mg of supernatant protein was mixed with 2 µg/ml of either
mouse anti-FAK or mouse antipaxillin and incubated with rotation for 3 h
at 4°C. Goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated to magnetic beads (PerSeptive
Biosystems, Inc., Framingham, MA) was then added, and the suspension
was incubated for 1.5 h at 4°C. For 1-integrin immunoprecipitation, ~2
mg of supernatant protein was first diluted with 1 vol of TBS and incubated with 3 µg/ml of rat anti-mouse
1 antibody followed by goat anti- rat IgG conjugated to magnetic beads. Immunocomplexes were collected and washed three times with TBS/0.5% NP-40 and once with TBS, both
containing the protease and phosphatase inhibitors at the concentrations
indicated above. Final pellets were resuspended in sample buffer (Laemmli, 1970
) and boiled for 5 min, and the beads were pulled down by centrifugation. The resulting supernatant was subjected to SDS-PAGE (8%
acrylamide gels) and transferred to polyvinyl difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad Labs, Hercules, CA). After blocking in TBS containing
3% BSA and 0.2% Tween 20 for 90 min at room temperature, membranes
were washed briefly with TBS and incubated for 1 h at 37°C with the primary antibody: 1 µg/ml antiphosphotyrosine antibody, 1/600 dilution of
anti-
1-integrin antiserum (Giancotti and Ruoslahti, 1990
), or 2 µg/ml
anti-PTP1B polyclonal IgG. Blots were washed three times with TBS/
Tween 20 and once with TBS, and incubated 1 h with the appropriate
HRP-conjugated anti-IgG antibody. For determining the levels of phosphotyrosine on Src, cells were serum starved for 2 h, plated on FN-coated dishes, and harvested in RIPA buffer (0.1% SDS, 0.1% deoxycholate, 1%
NP-40, 10 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 5 mM NaF) with
2.5 mM o-vanadate, 1 mM PMSF, 5 µg/ml leupeptin, and 10 µg/ml DNase.
The lysates were centrifuged as above, and the supernatant was incubated
with 2 µg/ml rabbit IgG or anti-Src antibody for 4 h at 4°C. The immunocomplexes were collected with goat anti-rabbit magnetic beads and
washed and processed as above. Membranes were developed using the
ECL system (Amersham Corp., Arlington Heights, IL). To reuse the
membranes, they were first incubated in TBS containing 5% 2-mercaptoethanol and 2% SDS for 30 min at 55°C and then thoroughly washed with
TBS, blocked again, and probed with a different antibody.
The anti-Src immunoprecipitates were also used to estimate the relative activity of Src from each of the cell lines. The immunoprecipitates were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose. The membrane was incubated for 30 min in two changes of TBS containing 10 mM Mg++, and the Src-containing band (~0.5 cm) was removed and incubated with 8 µg recombinant mutant GST-chkPTP1B in 250 µl of TBS containing 10 mM Mg++, 0.5 mM DTT, 25 µM ATP, and 0.4 mM o-vanadate for 30 min at 37°C. The reaction was stopped by addition of 50 µl of 5× SDS sample buffer, and the samples were boiled for 2 min. The samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes and immunoblotted with anti-PY antibody 4G10. To determine the amount of substrate in each lane, the immunoblot was stripped and reblotted with anti-PTP1B antibody.
Adhesion and Spreading Assays
96-well Falcon polystyrene tissue culture plates (Becton Dickinson) were
coated overnight at 4°C with either 20 µg/ml bovine plasma FN (Calbiochem), 250 µg/ml polylysine (PL), or 1% BSA and washed with PBS. FN-
and PL-coated wells were blocked for 1 h at 37°C with 1% BSA before
use. LP, LWT, and LMU cells grown overnight in serum-free medium
were detached with trypsin as indicated above. 20,000 cells were added
per well in HBSGK buffer (20 mM Hepes, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM
KCl, and 2 mM glucose). To ensure rapid and even distribution of the
plated cells onto the bottom of the wells, plates were briefly centrifuged
(model GH3.8 rotor; Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA). Cells were allowed to attach for 45 min at 37°C. Nonadherent cells were removed by
washing with HBSGK, and the number of attached cells was quantitated
by crystal violet staining (Bonnekoh et al., 1989). In brief, attached cells were fixed for 10 min with 3% paraformaldehyde, washed with PBS, and
stained with a crystal violet solution (0.2%, wt/vol in 10% ethanol, vol/
vol) for 10 min. Stained cells were rinsed thoroughly with 0.5 M Tris-HCl,
pH 7.8, and resuspended in 50 ml of the same buffer containing 0.5% SDS
and 50% ethanol. After 30 min, optical density was quantitated at 585 nm
using a microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories). When indicated, cells
were preincubated for 20 min on ice with the GRGDSP or GRADSP peptides (1 mM) and plated in the presence of the peptides.
For spreading assays, cells were prepared as above, except that they were plated on fibronectin-coated coverslips. After 30 min, cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde, washed with PBS, and incubated with DiI (10 mM) in the dark for 30 min. Excess dye was washed with PBS, and the cells were mounted in 80% glycerol/PBS. The area of fluorescent cells was measured using a Metamorph image analysis system (Universal Imaging Corp.).

Cell-Substrate Adhesion and Spreading Is Impaired in L Cells Expressing Catalytically Inactive PTP1B
To investigate the role of PTP1B in integrin-mediated adhesion, we transfected L cells with a vector containing the full-length cDNA for chicken PTP1B (wild-type: LWT) or a catalytically inactive form of the phosphatase (C215S: LMU). Both cDNAs carry a c-myc tag in frame at the 5' end to facilitate subsequent analysis. Stable cell lines were selected with zeocin, and expression of the c-myc-tagged PTP1B was determined by RT-PCR, using a combination of primers specific to c-myc and the chick enzyme, and by immunoblot. A unique band of 437 bp corresponding to the chick PTP1B message is readily detected in LWT and LMU cells (Fig. 1 A). As expected, chick PTP1B message is not detected in LP cells (Fig 1 A). Actin message was used to normalize the amount of starting material from each cell preparation (Fig. 1 A). PTP1B is readily detected in both control and transfected populations (Fig. 1 B). Because we used a pan-specific anti-PTP1B, we were able to estimate the level of overexpression to be about twofold (Fig. 1 B).
|
To assess the effect of transfected wild-type and inactive PTP1B on integrin-mediated adhesion, several clones of LWT and LMU cells as well as LP cells were plated on fibronectin-coated, 96-well plates in serum-free medium, and the attached cells were quantified after 45 min incubation. Only 30% of the input LMU cells adhered, as compared with more than 90% of the LP and LWT cells (Fig. 2 A). Attachment of control LP and LWT cells to fibronectin is integrin-dependent: over 90% attachment is inhibited by an RGD-containing peptide (Fig. 2 A). Several clones expressing wild type and mutant were analyzed by phase contrast microscopy after culture in the presence of serum. All clones expressing the mutant PTP1B (LMU) are similar and morphologically different from clones expressing the wild-type protein (LWT) or the parental cell line (LP) (Fig. 2 B). LMU cells show a bipolar, spindle shape and do not flatten onto the substrate. In contrast, LP and LWT cells form extensive lamellae and are flattened on the matrix (Fig. 2 B).
|
The poor attachment of LMU cells to fibronectin is also
reflected in their inability to flatten and spread. 30 min after plating on fibronectin, most LMU cells remain round
and very loosely attached to the substrate, with only a few
cells showing limited spreading. In contrast, most of the
LP and LWT cells flatten and form large lamella (Fig. 3
A). The surface areas of LP and LWT cells are similar and
approximately three times that of LMU cells, as determined by quantitative image analysis (Fig. 3 B). The reduced attachment and spreading of LMU cells on fibronectin is not due to a decreased expression of integrins
at the cell surface since flow cytometry profiles of surface-labeled 1-integrin and the major fibronectin receptor,
5
1, are equivalent in all three cell types (Fig. 4). In addition, immunoblots of cell lysates with anti-mouse
1-integrin antibody show equal levels of expression (not shown).

Focal Adhesions and Actin Stress Fibers Are Altered in L Cells Expressing Catalytically Inactive PTP1B
In normal fibroblasts, integrin-mediated adhesion to fibronectin leads to the formation of focal adhesions and assembly of actin stress fibers (Burridge et al., 1988). The
impaired attachment and spreading of LMU cells on fibronectin suggests that these cells may be unable to assemble normal focal contacts and actin stress fibers. To investigate this possibility, LMU cells were plated on
fibronectin for 30 min and then fixed and processed for
double immunofluorescence to detect F-actin and
1-integrin. Actin appears diffusely distributed throughout the
cell body but accumulates in the submembranal cytoskeleton (Fig. 5 A).
1-integrin is distributed uniformly in a diffuse pattern all over the cell, with occasional small aggregates (Fig. 5 B). In contrast, among LWT cells, actin is
organized in stress fibers (Fig. 5 C), and
1-integrin accumulates in focal contacts (Fig. 5 D).
|
To determine if LMU cells have a delayed ability to assemble stress fibers and focal contacts, cells were plated on
fibronectin and cultured for 2 d in the presence of serum
before staining with TRITC-phalloidin and anti-1 antibody. After this time, most LMU cells have an elongated
shape but still lack actin stress fibers and focal adhesions.
Actin is distributed in short filaments within the cell body
and in the submembranal cytoskeleton (Fig. 6 A). Actin
filaments are also seen aligned along the main axis of the
cells and following a radial pattern within the lamellipodia (Fig. 6, A and C).
1-integrin is distributed in a dotted pattern, with only a few small accumulations at or near the
cell margin and very weak staining in some lamellipodia
(Fig. 6, B and D). As expected, in LWT and LP cells actin
accumulates in prominent stress fibers and
1-integrin in
focal adhesions (Fig. 6, LWT: E and F; LP: G and H).
|
The distributions of other typical focal adhesion components, such as FAK, paxillin, and vinculin, are also altered in LMU cells. In all cases, the distribution is dotted, with occasional formation of small aggregates (Fig. 7). In contrast, these proteins are distributed in large and elongated focal adhesions in LWT (Fig. 7) and LP cells (not shown).
|
Tyrosine Phosphorylation of FAK and Paxillin Is Reduced in L Cells Expressing Catalytically Inactive PTP1B
Tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK is an early event occurring after integrin binding to the ligand (Guan and Shalloway, 1992; Lipfert et al., 1992
; Kornberg et al., 1992
; Clark
and Brugge, 1995
). To examine whether phosphorylation
of FAK on tyrosine residues is affected in LMU cells, nonionic detergent extracts of cells plated on polylysine or fibronectin for 30 min were immunoprecipitated with an
anti-FAK antibody and immunoblotted with an antiphosphotyrosine antibody. On polylysine, phosphotyrosine levels on FAK are barely detectable in the three cell lines
(not shown). On fibronectin, phosphotyrosine levels in
FAK are significantly reduced in LMU cells as compared
with those in LP and LWT cells (Fig. 8 A, top), suggesting
that phosphorylation of FAK on tyrosine residues in response to the attachment to fibronectin is indeed impaired
in LMU cells.
|
Similarly, paxillin is localized in focal adhesions and becomes tyrosine phosphorylated after integrin-dependent
adhesion (Burridge et al., 1992). To determine whether
phosphorylation of paxillin on tyrosine is also affected in
LMU cells, lysates from cells plated on fibronectin were
immunoprecipitated with a specific antipaxillin antibody,
and phosphotyrosine residues were detected as described
above. Indeed, in LMU cells, paxillin shows reduced levels
of phosphotyrosine when compared with LP and LWT
cells (Fig. 8 B, top). The reduced phosphorylation of FAK
and paxillin in LMU cells cannot be attributed to a lower level of protein expression or to differential immunoprecipitation since equivalent amounts of protein were used
for all immunoprecipitations, and the amount of immunoprecipitated FAK and paxillin is similar in the three cell
lines, as determined by stripping the membranes and blotting with anti-FAK (Fig. 8 A, bottom) or antipaxillin (Fig.
8 B, bottom) antibodies.
To eliminate the possibility that a general dephosphorylation of proteins occurs in cells expressing the mutant PTP1B, lysates from cells plated on fibronectin were fractionated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane, and immunoblotted with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Tyrosine phosphate residues at the appropriate molecular mass for FAK and paxillin are reduced in LMU cells (Fig. 8 C). There are changes in the phosphorylation levels of other proteins in LMU cells; however, there are no wholesale changes in the pattern. It is of interest that phosphorylation of high (~200 kD) and low (~30 kD) molecular mass bands are reduced in LWT cells, indicating that increased levels of active PTP1B does alter the pattern of phosphorylation.
Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Src Is Increased and Activity Decreased in L Cells Expressing Catalytically Inactive PTP1B
The decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and
paxillin in cells expressing the catalytically inactive PTP1B
indicates that PTP1B plays a role in regulating the tyrosine
phosphorylation of components upstream from these
phosphorylation events. Src is an obvious candidate since
FAK and paxillin are downstream targets of Src (Clark
and Brugge, 1993; Howel and Cooper, 1994
; Kaplan et al.,
1994
; Calalb et al., 1995
; Schaller and Parsons, 1995
;
Hanks and Polte, 1997
). Tyrosine 527 must be dephosphorylated to activate Src (Courtneidge, 1985
; Cooper and
King, 1986
; Brown and Cooper, 1996
) and mutant PTP1B
may block this event. An increase in tyrosine phosphate
content of Src has been correlated with decreased activity
(Soltesz et al., 1997
). To assess the tyrosine phosphate content of Src, extracts of cells plated on fibronectin for 1 h
were immunoprecipitated with an anti-Src antibody and immunoblotted with an antiphosphotyrosine antibody.
The phosphotyrosine content of Src is increased in the
LMU cells as compared with LP cells (Fig. 9 A). It is interesting to note that overexpression of wild-type PTP1B decreases the phosphotyrosine content of Src, without an apparent alteration of the phenotype (Fig. 9 A). The amount
of Src in each lane is also shown (Fig. 9 A, bottom).
|
To directly estimate the relative activity of Src in each of
the cell types, Src was immunoprecipitated and assayed in
vitro using mutant chk-PTP1B as the substrate (Jung et al.,
1998). Transfer of phosphate to the substrate was determined by SDS-PAGE and immunoblot with anti-PY antibody (Fig. 9 B). Src isolated from LMU cells is clearly less
active than that isolated from either LP or LWT cells.
Subcellular Distribution of PTP1B
It has been shown that PTP1B is predominantly localized
in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Frangioni et al., 1992;
Woodford-Thomas et al., 1992
). To investigate whether a
fraction of PTP1B is associated with integrin complexes,
nonionic detergent extracts of LWT and LMU cells plated
for 30 min on fibronectin were immunoprecipitated with a
rat anti-
1-integrin antibody, and the precipitates were analyzed for the presence of PTP1B after SDS-PAGE
and immunoblot. Rabbit anti-PTP1B antibody reveals a
band at 50 kD, the approximate molecular mass for the
intact chicken PTP1B protein (Fig. 10 A). This band is
not present in control immunoprecipitates. To confirm the
immunoprecipitation of
1-integrin, blots were probed
with a polyclonal anti-
1 antibody (Fig. 10 B).
|
In an alternative approach, L cells were transiently
transfected with wild-type and catalytically inactive (C215S)
forms of chick PTP1B tagged with the green fluorescent
protein at the NH2 terminus. The cells were analyzed for
expression of the GFP-PTP1B construct by immunoblot
with anti-PTP1B antibody and anti-GFP antibody (Fig.
11). Parental PTP1B migrates at ~50 kD, while the GFP
fusion migrates at ~77 kD (27 kD + 50 kD). The anti-GFP antibody recognizes the band at ~77 kD as expected. Among cells that express high levels of GFP-
wtPTP1B and GFP-mutPTP1B, both proteins are seen
in a pattern typical for the ER as revealed by staining
with the ER marker rhodamine B hexyl ester (Terasaki
and Reese, 1992) (Fig. 12, compare A and B with D). In
contrast, cells transfected with the GFP alone show a
uniform distribution of the GFP (Fig. 12 C). These results indicate that the GFP tag does not significantly affect the targeting of PTP1B to the ER, a subcellular localization previously reported for endogenous PTP1B
(Frangioni et al., 1992
; Woodford-Thomas et al., 1992
).
Among cells that express moderate or low levels of GFP-
wtPTP1B, localization at focal adhesions is observed. To
confirm this, double immunofluorescence analyses were
performed comparing the distribution of the GFP-
wtPTP1B with that of vinculin and actin, two prominent
components of focal adhesions. Analysis of 1-µm optical
sections taken at the cell-substrate level shows that GFP-
wtPTP1B colocalizes with actin at the ends of the stress fibers (Fig. 13, arrows in C, and compare with A). GFP-
wtPTP1B also shows a high degree of colocalization with
vinculin (Fig. 13, arrows in D, and compare with B).
|
|
|
In addition, GFP-wtPTP1B staining was compared with images taken by reflection interference microscopy, where the pattern of focal adhesions is revealed. The overlap between the immunofluorescence of GFP-wtPTP1B and the dark regions at the margins of cellular lamella seen by reflection interference optics indicates that wtPTP1B localizes in areas of focal adhesions (Fig. 13, arrowheads). Similar results are seen using anti-PTP1B antibody (not shown).
Lysophosphatidic Acid Stimulates Assembly of Focal Adhesions in LMU Cells
Growth factors present in serum, such as lysophosphatidic
acid, induce the assembly of focal contacts and actin stress
fibers, as well as increase the phosphorylation of FAK and
paxillin on tyrosine residues (Ridley and Hall, 1992; Zachary et al., 1993
; Seufferlein and Rozengurt, 1994
). To determine whether expression of the mutant PTP1B also affects the LPA-dependent signaling pathway, LMU cells
were plated on fibronectin in the presence or absence of
LPA. In the presence of LPA, LMU cells rapidly flatten
and produce extensive lamella (Fig. 14, compare A with
C). The area of spreading among LMU cells in the presence of LPA is equivalent to that of LWT cells (Fig. 14,
compare B with C) or LP cells (not shown) as determined
by quantitative image analysis. Moreover, in LMU cells
treated with LPA,
1-integrin and F-actin show their typical distribution in focal contacts and stress fibers (Fig. 14,
C and D). The distribution of vinculin and FAK is similar
to that of
1-integrin (not shown).
|
To determine whether there is an increase in phosphorylation of FAK on tyrosine residues as a response to LPA, nonionic detergent lysates of LMU cells were immunoprecipitated with anti-FAK antibody, and the precipitates were separated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. 15 min after plating LMU cells on fibronectin, in the presence of LPA, the levels of phosphorylated tyrosine residues on FAK are similar to those in LP cells (Fig. 14). The effects of LPA in inducing spreading, focal contact and stress fiber formation, and FAK phosphorylation require integrin ligation since they are not observed in cells grown on polylysine (not shown). The rapid response of LMU cells to LPA treatment rules out the possibility that the machinery essential for phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin and for assembly of focal contacts and stress fibers is defective in LMU cells.

In this paper, we present data that suggest a regulatory
role for PTP1B in integrin-mediated adhesion and spreading. L cells expressing a catalytically inactive form of
PTP1B display reduced attachment and are unable to
spread on fibronectin. They assume an elongated spindle
shape after prolonged culture but fail to form the typical
flattened phenotype. Consistent with this altered morphology, LMU cells also show a dramatic decrease in focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. They are able, however, to
assemble actin into long filaments parallel to the long axis
of the cell and short filaments in the submembrane region
of cells and lamellipodia. Additionally, the proportion of
polymeric actin in LMU cells is similar to that in LWT or
LP cells (Arregui, C.O., unpublished observation). The
level of expression of 1-integrin at the cell surface is unaltered in LMU cells; however, its distribution changes to a
dotted pattern that contrasts with that of morphologically differentiated focal adhesion complexes in control cells.
Since activated rho is required for the assembly of focal
adhesions and actin stress fibers (Ridley and Hall, 1992;
Barry and Critchley, 1994
; Nobes and Hall, 1995
), we considered the possibility that rho-dependent signaling could
be impaired in LMU cells. However, when incubated with
serum or lysophosphatidic acid, both of which activate the
rho pathway (Ridley and Hall, 1992
), LMU cells rapidly
acquire a phenotype similar to parental or LWT cells, indicating that the machinery to assemble actin stress fibers
and focal adhesions is intact. The effect of LPA or serum is
dramatic but transient, since cells cultured for longer periods do not retain the spread shape and do not develop focal adhesions and stress fibers. Thus, the normal interaction of integrins with the extracellular matrix appears to
be essential for the sustained development of focal adhesions and stress fiber assembly. Our results are in concert
with a recent report showing that neither rho nor the extracellular matrix alone are sufficient to sustain focal adhesions in 3T3 cells (Hotchin and Hall, 1995
).
PTP1B as Modulator of Integrin-mediated Adhesion
Focal adhesion complexes contain many components, some
of which serve structural roles, forming the actual adhesion
and links to the actin-based cytoskeleton. Other components of the complex serve to propagate signals initiated
outside the cell by ligation of integrins, or those initiated by
growth factors and activation of integrins from inside the
cell (for reviews see Burridge and Chrzanowska-Wodnicka,
1996; Machesky and Hall, 1996
). Furthermore, it is clear
that there is redundancy of function among components of
focal adhesion complexes (Soriano et al., 1991
; Ilic et al., 1995
; Thomas et al., 1995
). It is important to emphasize that, given this complexity, interruption of the signaling pathway(s) leading to loss of focal contact formation may result
in several different phenotypes with respect to the phosphorylation of focal contact components, or even the array
of components associated with integrin adhesion complexes. These phenotypes will depend on the point at which
the signal cascade is interrupted.
Src is an obvious target for the effect of the dominant-negative PTP1B. FAK and paxillin are downstream targets of Src (Clark and Brugge, 1993; Howel and Cooper,
1994
; Kaplan et al., 1994
; Calalb et al., 1995
; Schaller and
Parsons, 1995
; Hanks and Polte, 1997
), and the enzymatic
activity of Src is regulated by the balance of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of tyrosine 527. The COOH-terminal Src kinase (Csk) phosphorylates tyrosine 527 and
represses Src activity (Nada et al., 1991
, 1993
; Okada et al.,
1991
; Imamoto and Soriano, 1993
), and activation requires
dephosphorylation of this residue (Courtneidge, 1985
;
Cooper and King, 1986
; Brown and Cooper, 1996
). This
may be accomplished by the cytosolic tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 (Somani et al., 1997
) and possibly the
transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase PTP
(Fang et al.,
1994
). We are suggesting that PTP1B may also play such a
role. Our results are consistent with this hypothesis; transfection with the dominant-negative, catalytically inactive
PTP1B results in increased phosphotyrosine content of Src
and decreased activity, presumably by preventing the dephosphorylation of Tyr 527 by endogenous PTP1B or
other phosphatases, keeping Src in a repressed state (see
Fig. 15).
|
Several additional lines of evidence are also consistent
with the hypothesis that the reduced levels of tyrosine
phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin in LMU cells are due
to repression of Src. Recruitment of Src to focal adhesions
follows integrin engagement (Clark and Brugge, 1993;
Kaplan et al., 1995
) and is accompanied by a transient increase in Src activity concomitant with a decrease in the
phosphorylation of Tyr 527 (Clark and Brugge, 1993
;
Kaplan et al., 1995
). FAK and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation is increased in cells isolated from Csk-minus mice
(Thomas et al., 1995
), and overexpression of Csk in HeLa
cells results in impaired cell-substrate adhesion and
spreading and a redistribution of integrins from focal contacts to point contacts (Bergman et al., 1995
), a phenotype similar to our L cells expressing mutant PTP1B. Finally, fibroblasts from Src knock out mice also show reduced
spreading (Kaplan et al., 1995
).
In seeming contrast to our results, Liu et al. (1998) have
reported that introduction of wild-type PTP1B into 3Y1 fibroblasts reduces the rate of cell spreading and ultimately
results in the formation of abnormally dense bundles of
stress fibers and enlarged, elongated focal contacts. This
was accompanied by reduced levels of phosphorylation of
FAK (Liu et al., 1998
). We do not see an effect of wild-type PTP1B on adhesion or focal contacts in L cells. In
agreement with our observations, spreading and cytoskeletal organization are not altered by expression of wild-type PTP1B in human foreskin fibroblasts or W-87MG
glioblastoma cells (Tamura et al., 1998
). Interestingly, we
do see a significant enhancement of neurite outgrowth by
PC12 cells expressing wild-type PTP1B (Pathre, P., C. Arregui, J. Lilien, and J. Balsamo, manuscript in preparation). This may reflect effects similar to those seen by Liu
et al. (1998)
, a possibility we are investigating. The different phenotypes resulting from perturbation of PTP1B may therefore be due to differences in host cell type and/or expression levels or PTP1B.
Subcellular Distribution of PTP1B
We find that PTP1B coimmunoprecipitates with 1-integrin, colocalizes with vinculin and actin
two prominent
components of focal adhesions
and is present in focal adhesions. These data suggest that PTP1B interacts with one
or more components of focal adhesion complexes. One
candidate molecule is p130Cas. Human PTP1B has been
shown to bind to p130 Cas both in vitro and in intact cells.
Binding occurs through a proline-rich region near the
COOH terminus of PTP1B and the SH3 domain of
p130Cas (Liu et al., 1996
, 1998
). It is interesting that other
tyrosine phosphatases also interact with p130Cas (Black
and Bliska, 1997
; Garton et al., 1997
; Shen et al., 1998
).
Like targeting to p130Cas, the proline-rich region of
PTP1B may also interact with the SH3 domain of Src itself. The selective dephosphorylation of Tyr 527 over 416 may be due to sequence recognition by PTP1Btyrosines
527 and 416 of Src are presented in entirely different sequence motifs (Takeya and Hanafusa, 1983
)
and/or accessibility based on targeting. It is worth emphasizing that
targeting mechanisms can impose limits on the available
protein substrates and specific tyrosine residues.
The Many Faces of PTP1B
Full-length PTP1B was initially described as localized to
the endoplasmic reticulum (Frangioni et al., 1992; Woodford-Thomas et al., 1992
). PTP1B has also been reported
to interact with both the insulin and IGF-1 receptors regulating the ligand-induced signaling via these receptors
(Kenner et al., 1996
; Seely et al., 1996
; Bandyopadhyay et al.,
1997
). It also interacts with and is phosphorylated by the
EGF receptor (Milarski, et al., 1993; Flint et al., 1997
; Liu
and Chernoff, 1997
). Here we report that PTP1B is functionally and physically associated with focal contacts. We
have also reported that, in chick neural retina cells and in L cells stably expressing N-cadherin, a fraction of PTP1B
binds to N-cadherin and regulates its function through dephosphorylation of
-catenin (Balsamo et al., 1996
; Balsamo et al., 1998
). PTP1B thus plays multiple roles depending on specific interactions, whether via substrate
recognition or other specific targeting regions of the molecule.
Finally, it is interesting to note that PTP1B plays an important role in regulating both integrin adhesion complexes (Liu et al., 1998; this paper) and cadherin adhesion
complexes (Balsamo et al., 1996
; Balsamo et al., 1998
).
This suggests possibilities for cross regulation of these two
developmentally important cell adhesion systems.
