To investigate the role of the src homology 2 (SH2)-containing inositol 5' phosphatase (SHIP) in growth factor-mediated signalling, we compared Steel factor (SF)-induced events in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from SHIP-/- and SHIP+/+ littermates. We found SF alone stimulated massive degranulation from SHIP-/- but none from SHIP+/+ BMMCs. This SF-induced degranulation, which was not due to higher c-kit levels in SHIP-/- cells, correlated with higher intracellular calcium than that in SHIP+/+ cells and was dependent on the influx of extracellular calcium. Both this influx and subsequent degranulation were completely inhibited by PI-3-kinase inhibitors, indicating that SF-induced activation of PI-3-kinase was upstream of extracellular calcium entry. A comparison of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) levels following SF stimulation of SHIP+/+ and SHIP-/- BMMCs suggested that SHIP restricted this entry by hydrolyzing PIP3. Although PI-3-kinase inhibitors blocked the release of intracellular calcium, implicating PIP3, and PLCgamma-2 was slightly more tyrosine phosphorylated in SHIP-/- cells, the increase in inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and intracellular calcium levels were identical in SHIP-/- and SHIP+/+ BMMCs. These results suggest that SHIP prevents SF from triggering degranulation of normal BMMCs, and does so by hydrolyzing PIP3, which in turn limits extracellular calcium entry at a step after the release of intracellular calcium.
为了研究含src同源2(SH2)结构域的肌醇5'磷酸酶(SHIP)在生长因子介导的信号传导中的作用,我们比较了SHIP基因敲除小鼠(SHIP-/-)和野生型同窝小鼠(SHIP+/+)骨髓来源肥大细胞(BMMCs)中,干细胞因子(SF)诱导的相关事件。我们发现单独的SF可刺激SHIP-/- BMMCs大量脱颗粒,但对SHIP+/+ BMMCs无此作用。这种SF诱导的脱颗粒,并非由于SHIP-/-细胞中c-kit水平较高,其与SHIP+/+细胞相比,细胞内钙水平更高,且依赖于细胞外钙的内流。这种内流及随后的脱颗粒均被PI-3激酶抑制剂完全抑制,表明SF诱导的PI-3激酶激活位于细胞外钙内流的上游。比较SF刺激SHIP+/+和SHIP-/- BMMCs后磷脂酰肌醇-3,4,5-三磷酸(PIP3)的水平,提示SHIP通过水解PIP3来限制这种内流。尽管PI-3激酶抑制剂可阻断细胞内钙的释放,提示PIP3参与其中,且SHIP-/-细胞中PLCγ-2的酪氨酸磷酸化略增加,但SHIP-/-和SHIP+/+ BMMCs中肌醇-1,4,5-三磷酸(IP3)和细胞内钙水平的升高是相同的。这些结果表明,SHIP可阻止SF触发正常BMMCs的脱颗粒,其机制是通过水解PIP3,进而在细胞内钙释放后的一个步骤限制细胞外钙的内流。
