1	9015760	In order to determine whether the effects of TNF-alpha might involve alterations in the expression of specific protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) that have been implicated in the regulation of growth factor receptor signalling, KRC-7 rat hepatoma cells were treated with TNF-alpha, and changes in overall tissue PTPase activity and the abundance of three major hepatic PTPases (LAR, PTP1B, and SH-PTP2) were measured in addition to effects of TNF-alpha on ligand-stimulated autophosphorylation of insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors and insulin-stimulated insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) phosphorylation.
2	9015760	Since SH-PTP2 has been shown to interact directly with both the EGF receptor and IRS-1, increased abundance of this PTPase, may mediate the TNF-alpha effect to inhibit signalling through these proteins.
