Although human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression is implicated in tumor progression for a variety of cancer types, how it dysregulates signaling networks governing cell behavioral functions is poorly understood. To address this problem, we use quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze dynamic effects of HER2 overexpression on phosphotyrosine signaling in human mammary epithelial cells stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) or heregulin (HRG). Data generated from this analysis reveal that EGF stimulation of HER2-overexpressing cells activates multiple signaling pathways to stimulate migration, whereas HRG stimulation of these cells results in amplification of a specific subset of the migration signaling network. Self-organizing map analysis of the phosphoproteomic data set permitted elucidation of network modules differentially regulated in HER2-overexpressing cells in comparison with parental cells for EGF and HRG treatment. Partial least-squares regression analysis of the same data set identified quantitative combinations of signals within the networks that strongly correlate with cell proliferation and migration measured under the same battery of conditions. Combining these modeling approaches enabled association of epidermal growth factor receptor family dimerization to activation of specific phosphorylation sites, which appear to most critically regulate proliferation and/or migration.
尽管人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)的过表达与多种癌症类型的肿瘤进展有关,但人们对其如何失调控制细胞行为功能的信号网络却知之甚少。为了解决这个问题,我们使用定量质谱分析法来分析HER2过表达对表皮生长因子(EGF)或这里配体(HRG)刺激的人乳腺上皮细胞中磷酸酪氨酸信号传导的动态影响。该分析产生的数据表明,EGF刺激HER2过表达细胞会激活多种信号通路以刺激迁移,而HRG刺激这些细胞则会导致迁移信号网络的特定子集放大。对磷酸蛋白质组数据集进行自组织映射分析,有助于阐明与亲本细胞相比,HER2过表达细胞在EGF和HRG处理下差异调节的网络模块。对同一数据集进行偏最小二乘回归分析,确定了网络内信号的定量组合,这些组合与在相同条件下测量的细胞增殖和迁移密切相关。结合这些建模方法,能够将表皮生长因子受体家族二聚化与特定磷酸化位点的激活联系起来,这些磷酸化位点似乎对增殖和/或迁移起着最关键的调节作用。
