Báo cáo khoa hoc : Insulin receptor substrate 2 and FoxO3a signalling are involved in E-cadherin expression and transforming growth factor-b1-induced repression in kidney epithelial cells

Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins comprise a family of adaptor molecules that integrate extracellular signals from insulin and other ligands to intracellular effectors such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase. The predominant forms of IRS protein in humans, IRS1 and IRS2, are widely expressed. | IFEBS Journal Insulin receptor substrate 2 and FoxO3a signalling are involved in E-cadherin expression and transforming growth factor-p1-induced repression in kidney epithelial cells Rosemarie M.

The predominant forms of IRS protein in humans IRS1 and IRS2 are widely expressed. Despite structural similarities IRS1 and IRS2 display distinct signalling modalities and mice lacking these proteins present with distinct phenotypes. Transforming growth factor TGF -pi is the primary cytokine shown to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Recent data have demonstrated a role for IRS1 in TGF-pi-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lung epithelial cells. In the present study we report data showing that TGF-pi signals via IRS2 in kidney epithelial cells. Small interfering RNA siRNA -mediated targeting of IRS2 increased E-cadherin expression although it did not alter TGF-pi-mediated E-cadherin repression. Phosphorylation of the downstream target of IRS2 Akt signalling FoxO3a was induced on Ser253 and to a lesser extent on Thr32. .
