TL;DR: Although IGF-I and vanadate induce distinct protein tyrosine phosphorylation in OK cells, they activate an overlapping set of signaling molecules, among which Nck appears as an interesting candidate to link activation of tyrosin kinases to the stimulation of Pi transport.
Abstract: Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulates sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport across the apical plasma membrane of confluent opossum kidney (OK) cells. Previous studies indicated that vanadate, at doses known to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatases, mimicked the effect of IGF-I and suggested the involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation processes in Pi transport regulation. In this study, protein tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of several cellular signaling pathways were investigated in confluent OK cells in response to IGF-I and vanadate. We report that IGF-I and vanadate induced tyrosine phosphorylation of distinct proteins. Tyrosine phosphorylation of p95 (IGF-I receptor beta-subunit) was rapidly and dose dependently increased in response to IGF-I. Associated with phosphorylation of the receptor, the increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a protein of 50 kDa was observed. Vanadate did not mimic the effect of IGF-I, but increased phosphorylation of seven major proteins of 1...
