Amplification of the Neu (ErbB-2 or HER-2) receptor tyrosine kinase
occurs in 20 to 30% of human mammary carcinomas, correlating with
a poor clinical prognosis. We have previously demonstrated that four
(Y1144 Y1201, Y1227 and Y1253) of the five known Neu autophosphorylation sites can independently mediate transforming signals. The transforming potential of two of these mutants correlates with their capacity to recruit Grb2 directly to Y1144 (YB) or indirectly through Shc to Y1227 (YD). Here, we demonstrate that these
transformation-competent neu mutants activate extracellular signal-regulated kinases and stimulate Ets-2-dependent
transcription. Although the transforming potential of three of these
mutants (YB, YD, and YE) was susceptible to inhibition by Rap1A, a
genetic antagonist of Ras, the transforming potential of YC was
resistant to inhibition by Rap1A. To further address the significance
of these ErbB-2-coupled signaling molecules in induction
of mammary cancers, transgenic mice expressing mutant Neu receptors
lacking the known autophosphorylation sites (NYPD) or those
coupled directly to either Grb2 (YB) or Shc (YD) adapter
molecules were derived. In contrast to the NYPD strains,
which developed focal mammary tumors after a long latency period with
low penetrance, all female mice derived from YB and YD strains rapidly
developed mammary tumors. Although female mice from several independent
YB or YD lines developed mammary tumors, the YB strains developed lung metastases at substantially higher rates than the YD strains. These
observations argue that Grb2 and Shc play important and distinct roles
in ErbB-2/Neu-induced mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis.
