AbstractIntroduction: Human ether á-go-go gene potassium channels (hEAG1) are expressed in brain and several types of human cancers, and play a critical role in neuronal excitement and tumour progression. However, functional regulation of hEAG channels is not understood. The present study was designed to determine whether hEAG1 channels are regulated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase. Methods: The hEAG1 current was recorded in HEK 293 stably expressing hEAG1 gene with a whole-cell patch clamp technique. Mutants of hEAG1 channels were generated using site-directed mutagenesis. Results: It was found that AG556, a highly selective inhibitor of EGFR kinase, suppressed hEAG1 current in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect was fully antagonised by co-application of AG556 and orthovanadate (1 mM, inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases). In addition, EGF (100 ng/mL) slightly increased hEAG1 current in cells with a 36-hour starvation. In mutants of hEAG1 channels, the inhibitory effect of hEAG1 current by AG556 was largely attenuated for hEAG1-Y90A, Y344A and Y485A, but not for hEAG1-Y376A, Y479A and Y639F. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate for the first that EGFR kinase modulates hEAG1 channel activity via phosphorylating tyrosine residues (Tyr90, Try344 and Try485) and therefore likely regulates neuronal activity and tumour growth.
