Cell communication networks: epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation as the paradigm for interreceptor signal transmission
TLDR
The recent identification of Zn2+-dependent metalloproteinases and transmembrane growth factor precursors as critical elements in GPCR-induced EGFR transactivation pathways has defined new components of a cellular communication network of rapidly increasing complexity.Abstract:
Communication between different cellular signaling systems has emerged as a common principle that enables cells to integrate a multitude of signals from its environment. Transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represents the paradigm for cross-talk between G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The recent identification of Zn2+-dependent metalloproteinases and transmembrane growth factor precursors as critical elements in GPCR-induced EGFR transactivation pathways has defined new components of a cellular communication network of rapidly increasing complexity. Further elucidation of the molecular details of the EGFR transactivation mechanism will provide new understanding of its relevance for normal physiological processes and their pathophysiological deviations.read more

TL;DR: The growth and the survival of carcinoma cells appear to be sustained by a network of receptors/ligands of the ErbB family, which is important for therapeutic approaches, since the response to anti-EGFR agents might depend on the total level of expression ofErbB receptors and ligands in tumor cells.

The role of β-arrestins in the termination and transduction of G-protein-coupled receptor signals
TL;DR: In this article, the Src family tyrosine kinases and components of the ERK1/2 and JNK3 MAP kinase cascades are recruited to GPCR-occupied GPCRs by recruiting these kinases to the receptor.

Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor signaling and resistance to trastuzumab (Herceptin)
TL;DR: In breast cancer cell models that overexpress HER2/neu, an increased level of IGF-IR signaling appears to interfere with the action of trastuzumab, and strategies that target IGF- IR signaling may prevent or delay development of resistance to trastzumab.

TL;DR: The results should facilitate the development of therapeutically useful inhibitors of TNF-α release, and they indicate that an important function of adamalysins may be to shed cell-surface proteins.

TL;DR: The complete 1,210-amino acid sequence of the human epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor precursor, deduced from cDNA clones derived from placental and A431 carcinoma cells, reveals close similarity between the entire predicted ν-erb-B mRNA oncogene product and the receptor transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.

Role of transactivation of the EGF receptor in signalling by G-protein-coupled receptors
TL;DR: It is reported here that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the neu oncoprotein become rapidly tyrosine-phosphorylated upon stimulation of Rat-1 cells with the GPCR agonists endothelin-1, lysophosphatic acid and thrombin, suggesting that there is an intracellular mechanism for transactivation.
