Sprouty2 Regulates Endocytosis and Degradation of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 in Glioblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: The Sprouty (SPRY) proteins are evolutionary conserved modulators of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling. SPRY2 inhibits fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling, whereas it enhances epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling through inhibition of EGF receptor (EGFR) endocytosis, ubiquitination, and degradation. In this study, we analyzed the effects of SPRY2 on endocytosis and degradation of FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) using two human glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines with different endogenous SPRY2 levels. SPRY2 overexpression (SPRY2-OE) inhibited clathrin- and caveolae-mediated endocytosis of FGFR1, reduced the number of caveolin-1 vesicles and the uptake of transferrin. Furthermore, FGFR1 protein was decreased by SPRY2-OE, whereas EGFR protein was increased. SPRY2-OE enhanced FGFR1 degradatio
