RESUMO
ErbB signaling through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) has been implicated in regulating the expression of ErbB ligands in hyperproliferative skin disorders and wound healing. Here, we characterize the process of autocrine ERK activation in cultured normal human keratinocytes (NHKs) subjected to growth factor (GF) deprivation. Basal ERK phosphorylation was lower after 48 h than after 24 h of GF deprivation, and lowest at 30–60 min after an additional medium change. ERK phosphorylation was markedly increased by low concentrations of epidermal growth factor (EGF) (0.2–1 ng/ml) that provoked only a limited increase in ErbB1 tyrosine phosphorylation and internalization. Basal ErbB tyrosine phosphorylation and ERK phosphorylation were inhibited by two different ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, by the ErbB1-specific neutralizing monoclonal antibody 225 IgG, by two different metalloproteinase inhibitors, and by neutralizing antibodies against amphiregulin (AR). In contrast, these responses were unaffected by neutralizing antibodies against other ErbB1 ligands or the ErbB2 inhibitors geldanamycin and AG825. The time course of autocrine ERK phosphorylation correlated with the appearance of soluble AR, and two different metalloproteinase inhibitors blocked AR release. These results define an amphiregulin- and ErbB1-dependent mechanism by which autocrine ERK activation is maintained in NHKs, even when ErbB1 autophosphorylation and internalization are limited.
