title: Negative regulation of myeloid cell proliferation and function by the SH2 domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase-1.
abstract: The SH2 domain containing tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 has been implicated in the regulation of a multiplicity of signaling pathways involved in hemopoietic cell growth, differentiation, and activation. A pivotal contribution of SHP-1 in the modulation of myeloid cell signaling cascades has been revealed by the demonstration that SHP-1 gene mutation is responsible for the overexpansion and inappropriate activation of myelomonocytic populations in motheaten mice. To investigate the role of SHP-1 in regulation of myeloid leukocytes, an HA epitope-tagged dominant negative (interfering) SHP-1 (SHP-1C453S) was expressed in the myelo-monocytic cell line U937 using the pcDNA3 vector. Overexpression of this protein in SHP-1C453S transfectants was demonstrated by Western blot analysis and by detection of decreased specific activity. Growth, proliferation, and IL-3-induced proliferative responses were substantially increased in the SHP-1C453S-overexpressing cells relative to those in control cells. The results of cell cycle analysis also revealed that the proportion of cells overexpressing SHP-1C453S in S phase was greater than that of control cells. The SHP-1C453S-expressing cells also displayed diminished rates of apoptosis as detected by flow cytometric analysis of propidium iodide-stained cells and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated fluorescein-dUTP nick end-labeling assay. While motility and phagocytosis were not affected by SHP-1C453S overexpression, adhesion and the oxidative burst in response to PMA were enhanced in the SHP-1C453S compared with those in the vector alone transfectants. Taken together, these results suggest that SHP-1 exerts an important negative regulatory influence on cell proliferation and activation while promoting spontaneous cell death in myeloid cells.
