Recognition of activated CSF-1 receptor in breast carcinomas by a tyrosine 723 phosphospecific antibody

Oncogene

Abstract

The macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF-1R), the product of the c-fms proto-oncogene, plays an important role in regulating the normal proliferation and differentiation of macrophages and trophoblasts. However, the abnormal expression of CSF-1R transcripts and protein by human breast carcinomas has been shown to correlate with advanced stage and poor prognosis. Ligand activated CSF-1R dimers transphosphorylate several tyrosines in their cytoplasmic domains which provide recognition sites for various effector proteins in multiple signal transduction pathways. In cells transformed by the c-fms oncogene, one of the major CSF-1R phosphotyrosines, pTyr723 is important for phenotypic expression of anchorage-independent growth and metastasis. In order to investigate the relationship between receptor activation/phosphorylation and cellular phenotypes in vitro and in vivo, we prepared a CSF-1R phosphorylation-state specific antibody raised against a specific phosphopeptide of CSF-1R, which included phosphorylated tyrosine 723. On immunoblots of lysates from cells expressing CSF-1R, this antibody recognizes phosphorylated CSF-IR in CSF-1 stimulated cells but not in unstimulated cells. As an immunohistochemical reagent, thi...Continue Reading

Breast Invasive Carcinoma

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
