Objectives: The endothelial cell (EC)-selective receptor tyrosine kinase, Tie2, and its ligands angiopoietin Ang-1 and Ang-2, are essential for blood vessel maintenance and repair. Ang-1 is an agonist of Tie2 receptor activation, whereas Ang-2 is a context-dependent antagonist/agonist. Therefore, we investigated the role of the EC-selective phosphatase, human protein tyrosine phosphatase beta (HPTPbeta), in regulating Tie2 activity.
Methods And Results: siRNA silencing of HPTPbeta enhanced Ang-1 and Ang-2-induced Tie2 phosphorylation at 10 min (2.5-fold, P < 0.001; and 1.8-fold, P < 0.05, respectively). The cell survival response to Ang-1, but not Ang-2, was enhanced by HPTPbeta silencing as measured by flow cytometry (0.85-fold to 0.66-fold, P < 0.05) and ELISA (0.88-fold to 0.53-fold, P < 0.01). Hypoxia, which upregulated HPTPbeta expression in endothelial cells, impaired Ang-1-induced Tie2 phosphorylation.
Conclusions: These results reveal a novel role for HPTPbeta in modulating Ang-1-Tie2 signaling and endothelial cell survival.

To investigate how PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) affect the left ventricular function in mice with myocardial infarction (MI) and through what mechanisms they exert their effects. In vivo experiments were conducted using 27 female BALB/c mice, which were divided equally into 3 groups. Cardiac function was assessed by ultrasound.

Background: Many cancer cells exhibit aberrant metabolic reprogramming through abnormal mitochondrial respiration. Protein tyrosine phosphatase mitochondrial 1 (PTPMT1) is a protein tyrosine phosphatase localized to the mitochondria and linked to mitochondrial respiration. However, the expression and role of PTPMT1 in regulating the biological characteristics of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has not yet been explored.

Medulloblastoma (MB), a heterogeneous pediatric brain tumor, poses challenges in the treatment of tumor recurrence and dissemination. To characterize cellular diversity and genetic features, we comprehensively analyzed single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq), single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (snATAC-seq), and spatial transcriptomics profiles and identified distinct cellular populations in SHH (sonic hedgehog) and Group_3 subgroups, with varying proportions in local recurrence or dissemination. Local recurrence showed higher cycling tumor cell enrichment, whereas disseminated lesions had a relatively notable presence of differentiated subsets.

Cancer cell overexpresses numerus proteins, however, how these up-regulated proteins, especially those enzymatically opposite kinases and phosphatases, act together to promote oncogenesis is unknown. Here, we reported that protein tyrosine phosphatase H1 (PTPH1) is a scaffold protein for receptor tyrosine kinase (HER2) to potentiate breast tumorigenesis. PTPH1 utilizes its PDZ domain to bind HER2, p38γ, PBK, and YAP1 and to increase HER2 nuclear translocation, stemness, and oncogenesis.

These PTPs bind overlapping sets of ITIM/ITSM-bearing proteins, suggesting that they might have some redundant functions. By studying T cell-specific single and double knockout mice, we found that SHP1 and SHP2 redundantly restrain naïve T cell differentiation to effector and central memory phenotypes, with SHP1 playing the dominant role.
