Catalytically inactive receptor tyrosine kinase PTK7 activates FGFR1 independent of FGF.


ABSTRACT: Protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7), a catalytically defective receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RPTK), plays an oncogenic role by activating an unidentified TKI-258 (dovitinib)-sensitive RPTK in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. Here, we demonstrate that among TKI-258-sensitive RPTKs, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1 is significantly up-regulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines. We show that PTK7 colocalizes with FGFR1 and binds it via its extracellular domain in human embryonic kidney 293 and ESCC TE-10 cells. PTK7 knockdown not only reduced ligand-free and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-induced phosphorylation of FGFR1 but also the interaction of signaling adaptor proteins with FGFR1 and activation of downstream signaling proteins in TE-10 cells. In addition, PTK7 knockdown reduced FGF-induced oncogenic phenotypes including proliferation, anchorage-independent colony formation, wound healing, and invasion in ESCC cells. Taken together, our data demonstrate that PTK7 binds and activates FGFR1 independent of FGF and thus increases oncogenicity of PTK7- and FGFR1-positive cancers such as ESCC.-Shin, W.-S., Lee, H. W., Lee, S.-T. Catalytically inactive receptor tyrosine kinase PTK7 activates FGFR1 independent of FGF.
