    Journal: IUBMB Life; 2003 Mar; 55(3):159-65. PubMed ID: 12822894.
    Abstract:
    This study demonstrates the involvement of phosphotyrosine phosphatases on the activity and regulation of GSH ATP-dependent transport system that we have previously identified in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. This is shown by the fact that increases of the initial rate of GSH uptake were measured in NIH3T3 overexpressing a synthetic gene coding for a low-Mr-phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (LMW-PTP), while decreases were obtained in NIH3T3 overexpressing the phosphatase inactive mutant (LMW-C12SPTP), with respect to NIH3T3neo. Moreover, these results have been confirmed by experiments performed in the same cells by vanadate, and H2O2 treatment on both GSH transport and mediated passive transport of glucose. A possible regulation of this transport system by platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr) with tyrosine kinase activity is also demonstrated. Moreover, these data show a relationship among GSH, PDGFr and phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity, and suggest a role of GSH transport systems on the cell proliferation process.
