Differential regulation of insulin receptor substrate-1 degradation during mannitol and okadaic acid induced apoptosis in human neuroblastoma cells.
Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins are major docking molecules for the type I insulin like growth factor (IGF) receptor (IGF-IR) and mediate their effects on downstream signaling molecules. In this report, we investigated IRS-1 regulation during apoptosis in human neuroblastoma SH-EP cells. Treatment of SH-EP cells with mannitol or okadaic acid (OA) induces apoptosis with the typical characteristics of anoikis. Mannitol treatment results in IRS-1 degradation with concomitant appearance of smaller fragments, likely representing caspase cleavage products. In contrast OA-induced IRS-1 degradation is accompanied by a mobility shift in IRS-1, suggesting IRS-1 serine/threonine phosphorylation. Mannitol-induced, but not OA-induced, degradation is blocked by IGF-I. Pretreatment of the cells with caspase or proteasome inhibitors also partially blocks mannitol-induced IRS-1 degradation. These results suggest two independent pathways are involved in IRS-1 degradation; one pathway is dependent on caspase activation and is blocked by IGF-I, while a second pathway is caspase-independent and IGF-I-insensitive.
