Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) is a scaffold protein known to interact with a number of cancer-related proteins. nherf1 Mutations (K172N and D301V) were recently identified in breast cancer cells. To investigate the functional properties of NHERF1, wild-type and cancer-derived nherf1 mutations were stably expressed in SKMES-1 cells respectively. NHERF1-wt overexpression suppressed the cellular malignant phenotypes, including proliferation, migration, and invasion. nherf1 Mutations (K172N and D301V) caused complete or partial loss of NHERF1 functions by affecting the PTEN/NHERF1/PDGFRβ complex formation, inactivating NHERF1 inhibition of PDGF-induced AKT and ERK activation, and attenuating the tumor-suppressor effects of NHERF1-wt. These results further demonstrated the functional consequences of breast cancer-derived nherf1 mutations (K172N and D301V), and suggested the causal role of NHERF1 in tumor development and progression.
钠/氢交换体调节因子 1(NHERF1)是一种已知与许多癌症相关蛋白相互作用的支架蛋白。最近在乳腺癌细胞中发现了 nherf1 突变(K172N 和 D301V)。为了研究 NHERF1 的功能特性,分别在 SKMES-1 细胞中稳定表达野生型和癌症衍生的 nherf1 突变。NHERF1-wt 的过表达抑制了细胞的恶性表型,包括增殖、迁移和侵袭。nherf1 突变(K172N 和 D301V)通过影响 PTEN/NHERF1/PDGFRβ 复合物的形成,使 NHERF1 抑制 PDGF 诱导的 AKT 和 ERK 激活的功能完全或部分丧失,并减弱 NHERF1-wt 的肿瘤抑制作用,导致 NHERF1 功能丧失。这些结果进一步证明了乳腺癌衍生的 nherf1 突变(K172N 和 D301V)的功能后果,并提示 NHERF1 在肿瘤发生和发展中的因果作用。
