As expected, autophosphorylation of the IGF-IRs was observed in the CHO and CHO-WT cells but very little was seen in two different clones of CHO-MK cells, indicating that the kinase-defective receptors inhibited the endogenous wild-type hamster receptors (Figure 1A).
Initially, we tested Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that had been stably transfected with expression vectors for kinase-inactive or wild type IGF-I receptors [ 53 ] . The parental CHO cell line expresses ~50,000 endogenous IGF-IRs, the transfected wild-type (CHO-WT) cell line expresses ~250,000 IGF-IRs, and the kinase-defective (CHO-MK) cell line expresses ~250,000 mutant IGF-IRs.
We assessed the ability of the IGF-IRs of each cell line to undergo autophosphorylation in response to increasing concentrations of IGF-I.
Overexpression of the wild-type IGF-IRs increased the number of colonies, and overexpressing the kinase-defective receptors reduced the number of colonies by 60% (Figure 1C).
Binding studies showed that the U87-LacZ cells express 10 5endogenous IGF-IRs per cell, while the U87-WT and U87-MK cells express 3 × 10 6and 2 × 10 6receptors per cells respectively.
