1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Src homology 2 phosphotyrosyl phosphatase (SHP2) is a nonreceptor-type phosphatase that acts as a positive transducer of receptor Tyr kinase (RTK) signaling, particularly the Ras-REK and PI3K-Akt pathways. Recently, we have demonstrated that SHP2 is required for cell transformation induced by the constitutively active fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (K/E-FR3) (Oncogene, 22, 6909-6918). In that study, we had detected a phosphotyrosyl protein of approximately 100 KDa (p100) in cells expressing dominant-negative SHP2 (R/E-SHP2), but its identity and relevance in SHP2-meditaed transformation was not known. Here, we report the identification of p100 as alpha-catenin, a vinculin-related protein involved in adherens junction-mediated intercellular adhesion. We show that alpha-catenin becomes Tyr phosphorylated in intercellular adhesion-dependent manner and this event is counteracted by SHP2. Substrate trapping in intact cells and immunocomplex phosphatse assays confirmed that alpha-catenin is in deed an SHP2 substrate. Tyr phosphorylation of alpha-catenin enhances its translocation to the plasma membrane and its interaction with beta-catenin, leading to enhanced actin polymerization and stabilization of adherens junction-mediated intercellular adhesion, a phenomenon commensurate with loss of the transformation phenotype. Site-directed mutagenesis studies also suggested that Tyr phosphorylation of alpha-catenin enhances its inhibitory role on cell transformation. Based on our previous work and the current report, we demonstrate that mediation of cell transformation by SHP2 is a complex process that involves modulation of the Ras-ERK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, intercellular adhesion, focal adhesion and actin cytoskeletal reorganization. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing regulation of alpha-catenin function by Tyr phosphorylation and its inhibitory effect on cell transformation.
