Receptor-type Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase- Regulates Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Function^*

From the Department of Dermatology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the prototypic receptor protein tyrosine kinase, is a major regulator of growth and survival for many epithelial cell types. We report here that receptor-type protein-tyrosine phosphatase- (RPTP-) dephosphorylates EGFR and thereby regulates its function in human keratinocytes. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors induced EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation in intact primary human keratinocytes and cell-free membrane preparations. Five highly expressed RPTPs (RPTP-, , , µ, and ) were functionally analyzed in a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell-based expression system. Full-length human EGFR expressed in CHO cells, which lack endogenous EGFR, displayed high basal (i.e. in the absence of ligand) tyrosine phosphorylation. Co-expression of RPTP-, but not other RPTPs, specifically reduced basal EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation. RPTP- also reduced epidermal growth factor-dependent EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation in CHO cells. Purified RPTP- preferentially dephosphorylated EGFR tyrosines 1068 and 1173 in vitro. Overexpression of wild-type or catalytically inactive RPTP- reduced or enhanced, respectively, basal and EGF-induced EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation in human keratinocytes. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated knockdown of RPTP- increased basal and EGF-stimulated EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation and augmented downstream Erk activation in human keratinocytes. RPTP- levels increased in keratinocytes as cells reached confluency, and overexpression of RPTP- in subconfluent keratinocytes reduced keratinocyte proliferation. Taken together, the above data indicate that RPTP- is a key regulator of EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation and function in human keratinocytes.
