Activating mutations in c-Kit lead to alteration of these cellular processes and have been implicated in many human cancers such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, acute myeloid leukemia, testicular seminomas and mastocytosis. Regulation of the catalytic activity of several kinases is known to be governed by phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the activation loop of the kinase domain. However, in the case of c-Kit phosphorylation of Tyr-823 has been demonstrated to be a late event that is not required for kinase activation. However, because phosphorylation of Tyr-823 is a ligand-activated event, we sought to investigate the functional consequences of Tyr-823 phosphorylation. By using a tyrosine-to-phenylalanine mutant of tyrosine 823, we investigated the impact of Tyr-823 on c-Kit signaling. We demonstrate here that Tyr-823 is crucial for cell survival and proliferation and that mutation of Tyr-823 to phenylalanine leads to decreased sustained phosphorylation and ubiquitination of c-Kit as compared with the wild-type receptor. Furthermore, the mutated receptor was, upon ligand-stimulation, quickly internalized and degraded. Phosphorylation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl was transient, followed by a substantial reduction in phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules such as Akt, Erk, p38, Shc, and Gab2. Thus, we propose that activation loop tyrosine 823 is crucial for activation of both the MAPK and PI3K pathways and that its disruption leads to a destabilization of the c-Kit receptor and decreased survival of cells.","address":"","school":"","issn":"","doi":"10.1074\/jbc.M113.474072","isi":"","pubmed":"","key":"Agarwal2013","howpublished":"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23803604","urllink":"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23803604","refid":114} , {userid:"Lars.Ronnstrand", "refid":"126","repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"Src-Like Adaptor Protein (SLAP) differentially regulates normal and oncogenic c-Kit signaling","year":"2014","author":"J.U.

A substitution of aspartate to valine at amino acid 816 (D816V) is one of the most commonly found oncogenic c-Kit mutation and is found in more than 90% of cases of mastocytosis and less commonly in germ cell tumors, core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia and mucosal melanomas. The mechanisms by which this mutation leads to constitutive activation and transformation are not fully understood. Previous studies have shown that the D816V mutation causes a structural change in the activation loop resulting in weaker binding of the activation loop to the juxtamembrane domain. In this paper we have investigated the role of Y823, the only tyrosine residue in the activation loop, and its role in oncogenic transformation by c-Kit\/D816V by introducing the Y823F mutation. Although dispensable for the kinase activity of c-Kit\/D816V, the presence of Y823 was crucial for cell proliferation and survival. Furthermore, mutation of Y823 selectively down-regulates the Ras\/Erk and Akt pathways as well as the phosphorylation of STAT5 and reduces the transforming capacity of the D816V\/c-Kit in vitro. We further show that mice injected with cells expressing c-Kit\/D816V\/Y823F display significantly reduced tumor size as well as tumor weight compared to controls. Finally, microarray array analysis, comparing Y823F\/D816V cells with cells expressing c-Kit\/D816V, demonstrate that mutation of Y823 causes up-regulation of pro-apoptotic genes whereas genes of survival pathways are down-regulated. Thus, phosphorylation of Y823 is not necessary for kinase activation, but essential for the transforming ability of the c-Kit\/D816V mutant.","note":"","tags":"c-Kit, D816V, Y823F, activation loop, tyrosine phosphorylation, signaling, transformation, cancer","weight":135} , {userid:"Lars.Ronnstrand", "articletype":"article","pages":"1852-60","author":"J U Kazi, M Vaapil, S Agarwal, E Bracco, S P\u00e5hlman, L R\u00f6nnstrand","year":"2013","title":"The tyrosine kinase CSK associates with FLT3 and c-Kit receptors and regulates downstream signaling","month":"","journal":"Cell Signal","publisher":"","volume":"25","number":"9","note":"Kazi, Julhash U xD;Vaapil, Marica xD;Agarwal, Shruti xD;Bracco, Enrico xD;Pahlman, Sven xD;Ronnstrand, Lars xD;eng xD;Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't xD;England xD;2013\/05\/28 06:00 xD;Cell Signal. 2013 Sep;25(9):1852-60. doi: 10.1016\/j.cellsig.2013.05.016.

A number of SH2-domain containing proteins interact with FLT3 and c-Kit and regulate downstream signaling. The SH2-domain containing non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase CSK is mainly studied in the context of regulating Src family kinases. Here we present an additional role of this kinase in RTK signaling. We show that CSK interacts with FLT3 and c-Kit in a phosphorylation dependent manner. This interaction is facilitated through the SH2-domain of CSK. Under basal conditions CSK is mainly localized throughout the cytosolic compartment but upon ligand stimulation it is recruited to the inner side of cell membrane. CSK association did not alter receptor ubiquitination or phosphorylation but disrupted downstream signaling. Selective depletion of CSK using siRNA, or inhibition with CSK inhibitor, led to increased phosphorylation of Akt and Erk, but not p38, upon FLT3 ligand (FL) stimulation. Stem cell factor (SCF)-mediated Akt and Erk activation was also elevated by CSK inhibition. However, siRNA mediated CSK knockdown increased SCF stimulated Akt phosphorylation but decreased Erk phosphorylation. CSK depletion also significantly increased both FL- and SCF-induced SHC, Gab2 and SHP2 phosphorylation. Furthermore, CSK depletion contributed to oncogenic FLT3- and c-Kit-mediated cell proliferation, but not to cell survival. Thus, the results indicate that CSK association with type III RTKs, FLT3 and c-Kit can have differential impact on receptor downstream signaling.","address":"","school":"","issn":"","doi":"10.1016\/j.cellsig.2013.05.016","isi":"","pubmed":"","key":"Kazi2013d","howpublished":"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23707526","urllink":"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23707526","refid":122} , {userid:"Sekretariat", "articletype":"article","pages":"345-356","author":"L M Ruilope, R Agarwal, S D Anker, G L Bakris, G Filippatos, C Nowack, P Kolkhof, A Joseph, N Mentenich, B Pitt, Figaro-Dkd study investigators","year":"2019","title":"Design and Baseline Characteristics of the Finerenone in Reducing Cardiovascular Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease Trial","month":"","journal":"Am J Nephrol","publisher":"","volume":"50","number":"5","note":"Ruilope, Luis M ;Agarwal, Rajiv ;Anker, Stefan D ;Bakris, George L ;Filippatos, Gerasimos ;Nowack, Christina ;Kolkhof, Peter ;Joseph, Amer ;Mentenich, Nicole ;Pitt, Bertram ;eng ;Switzerland ;Am J Nephrol. 2019;50(5):345-356. doi: 10.1159\/000503712.

The h-index was calculated for 1052 academic neurological surgeons from 84 institutions, and organized by gender and academic rank. Overall men had statistically higher research productivity (mean 13.3) than their female colleagues (mean 9.5), as measured by the h-index, in the overall sample (p<0.0007). When separating by academic rank, there were no statistical differences (p>0.05) in h-index at the assistant professor (mean 7.2 male, 6.3 female), associate professor (11.2 male, 10.8 female), and professor (20.0 male, 18.0 female) levels based on gender. There was insufficient data to determine significance at the chairperson rank, as there was only one female chairperson. Although overall gender differences in scholarly productivity were detected, these differences did not reach statistical significance upon controlling for academic rank. Women were grossly underrepresented at the level of chairpersons in this sample of 1052 academic neurological surgeons, likely a result of the low proportion of females in this specialty. Future studies may be needed to investigate gender-specific research trends for neurosurgical residents, a cohort that in recent years has seen increased representation by women.
