From the Protein-tyrosine kinases, such as HER-2/ErbB-2,
have been specifically linked to breast cancer. The Csk-homologous
kinase (CHK), formerly MATK, is a tyrosine kinase that contains the Src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domains and demonstrates homology (~50%) to the Csk tyrosine kinase. Like Csk, CHK is able to
phosphorylate and inactivate Src family kinases. In this report, we
investigated whether CHK is expressed in breast cancer tissues and
whether it participates in the ErbB-2 signaling pathway in T47D and
MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Immunostaining of the CHK protein in breast tissues demonstrated that primary invasive ductal carcinomas, stage II (13 of 15 cases) and stage I (8 of 15 cases), expressed the
CHK protein, while this protein was not detected in the adjacent normal
tissues from the same patients. To study the role of CHK in the ErbB-2
signaling pathway, glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins containing the SH2 and SH3 domains of CHK were generated. CHK-SH2 and CHK-SH3-SH2, but not CHK-SH3 or CHK-NH2-SH3,
precipitated the tyrosine-phosphorylated ErbB-2 upon stimulation
with heregulin. EGF or interleukin-6 stimulation of T47D cells failed
to induce CHK-SH2 association with ErbB-2, the EGF-receptor, or the
interleukin-6 receptor. In vivo association of the
tyrosine-phosphorylated ErbB-2 with CHK was observed in
co-immunoprecipitation studies with anti-CHK antibodies.
EGF-R, ErbB-3, and ErbB-4 were not detected in the CHK
immunoprecipitates or in the precipitates of the GST-SH2 fusion
proteins of CHK, suggesting that the association of CHK with ErbB-2
upon heregulin stimulation is receptor-specific (ErbB-2) and
ligand-specific (heregulin). These results indicate that CHK might
participate in signaling in breast cancer cells by associating, via its
SH2 domain, with ErbB-2 following heregulin stimulation.
