TEK tyrosine kinase is primarily expressed on endothelial cells and is most commonly referred to as TIE2 TIE2 is a receptortyrosine kinase modulated by its ligands angiopoietins to regulate the development and remodeling of vascular system It is alsoone of the critical pathways associatedwith tumor angiogenesis and familial venousmalformations Apart from the vascular systemTIE2 signaling is also associated with postnatal hematopoiesis Despite the involvement of TIE2-angiopoietin system in severaldiseases the downstream molecular events of TIE2-angiopoietin signaling are not reported in any pathway repository Thereforecarrying out a detailed review of published literature we have documentedmolecular signaling eventsmediated byTIE2 in responseto angiopoietins and developed a network map of TIE2 signaling The pathway information is freely available to the scientificcommunity through NetPath a manually curated resource of signaling pathways We hope that this pathway resource will providean in-depth view of TIE2-angiopoietin signaling andwill lead to identification of potential therapeutic targets for TIE2-angiopoietinassociated disorders
1 Introduction
Angiopoietin-TIE2 is one of the major signaling systems thatregulates development and remodeling of vascular system[1 2] TIE2 is a member of the TIE receptor tyrosine kinasefamily that is preferentially expressed in endothelial cells[3] Among the angiopoietins (angiopoietin-1 angiopoietin-2 and angiopoietin-4 in humans) angiopoietin-1 (ANGPT1)is known as a constitutive agonist of TIE2 ANGPT1TIE2signaling promotes endothelial cell survival endothelium
integrity and anti-inflammatoryantiapoptotic responsessupporting reduced vascular permeability [4 5] ANGPT2is generally considered as antagonist as it competes withANGPT1 for binding to TIE2 reduces vessel stability andenhances vascular remodeling [6] However under spe-cific experimental conditions ANGPT2 has been shown topromote endothelial-cell survival sprouting and migrationin a temporal and concentration-dependent manner [7ndash9]Therefore angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) is currently consideredas a context dependant agonist or antagonist of TIE2 [6 10]

Angiopoietin-4 (ANGPT4) is also known to be an agonist ofTIE2while angiopoietin-3 (ANGPT3) themouse ortholog ofangiopoietin-4 is reported to be antagonistic toTIE2 [11]Theother member of the TIE family is the orphan receptor TIE1It heterodimerizes with TIE2 and modulates TIE2 signalinginduced by ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 [12] ANGPT1 binding toTIE2 induces dissociation of the TIE1-TIE2 complex [12]Thissuggests that TIE2 signaling is regulated by the molecularbalance between ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 [6 13] and TIE1and TIE2 with another one being the ectodomain cleavageof TIE receptors [14] The activation of TIE2 is achievedby the assembly with tetrameric or higher order multimericangiopoietins clearly differentiating TIE2 from other tyro-sine kinase receptors [15] ANGPT1 induces the translocationof TIE2 to cell-cell junctions and transassociation in theform of homomeric complexes to activate the downstreamsignaling of TIE2 [16]
Binding of ANGPT1 to TIE2 leads to receptor dimer-ization and subsequent activation followed by autophospho-rylation at specific tyrosine residues [15 17] These phos-phorylated sites provide binding platform to a number ofeffector molecules to initiate downstream signaling cascadewhich ultimately controls various cellular responses includ-ing morphogenesis proliferation extracellular matrix inter-action permeability survival and differentiation [18ndash23]TIE2 interacts with p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) via Tyr-1101 and activates PI3K-AKT pathwaywhich inhibits Smac release frommitochondria and increasesthe expression of survivin leading to survival and chemo-taxis of endothelial cells [18 24 25] AKT activation alsoinhibits forkhead transcription factor FKHR (FOXO1) whichprotects endothelial cells from apoptosis [26] ANGPT1 alsoinduces the PI3KAKT mediated activation of eNOS andNO release in endothelial cells [27 28] In endothelial cellsboth ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 also induce TIE2-dependenttranslocation of P-selectin through a PLCG1Ca2+ signalingpathway [29]
SH2 domain containing proteins such as growth factorreceptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) growth factor receptor-bound protein 7 (GRB7) growth factor receptor-bound pro-tein 14 (GRB14) protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptortype 11 (SHP-2) and phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) isrecruited and transphosphorylated by TIE2 [30] GRB2 andSHC1 recruit SOS1 and lead to the activation of Ras-Raf-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway that reg-ulates platelet activating factor synthesis anti-inflammatoryresponses and endothelial cell migration proliferation per-meability and morphogenesis [5 20ndash22 31 32] ThroughSOS1 or PI3Ks angiopoietinTIE2 system also regulates theactivation of RAC1 RHOA CDC42 and focal adhesionkinase 1 to mediate cytoskeleton reorganization and migra-tion of endothelial and synovial cells [33] Angiopoietin-1 induced activation of RHOA results in sequestration ofSRC by DIAPH1 thereby preventing SRC association withVEGFR2 [34] Recruitment of dynamic complexes com-prising NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1) RAS p21 proteinactivator 1 (p120GAP) and P21 protein-activated kinase 1(PAK1) to TIE2 by the DOKs especially DOK2 has beenattributed to increased cell motility [35] TIE2 also interacts
with the inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) activityTNFAIP3 interacting protein 2 (ABIN-2) that inhibits NF-kB transcriptional activity and mediates anti-inflammatoryand antiapoptotic action [36 37] TIE2 activation inducesthe phosphorylation of STAT1 STAT3 and STAT5A5B andtheir subsequent translocation into nucleus to induce theexpression of the cell cycle inhibitor cyclin-dependent kinaseinhibitor 1A (p21) [38] ANGPT2 also interacts with integrinslike integrin 120572V1205735 120572V1205733 and 12057251205731 in endothelial cells withless affinity than TIE2 and can induce TIE2-independentsignaling [39] TIE2 also forms a complex with 12057251205733 andFAKANGPT2 induces phosphorylation of FAK at Serine91012057251205733 internalization and dissociation of p130CAS and talinfrom 12057251205733 [40] Recently ANGPT2 has also been shown toinduce the activation of ERKMSK1CREB pathway to impartcell survival and resistance to doxorubicin in HepG2 cells[41]
Besides the defects in vascular system and angiogene-sis [42ndash44] TIE2 signaling has also been associated withrheumatoid arthritis [45] and asthma [46] Considering theimportance of TIE2 signaling here we provide a manuallycurated enhanced network map of angiopoietin(s)-inducedTIE2-mediated signaling events as a reference platform forfurther biomedical investigations
2 Methods
We screened published research articles related to TIE2signaling NetPath criteria described earlier [47 48] werefollowed for the annotation of protein-protein interac-tions (PPIs) enzyme-substrate relationships and posttrans-lational modifications (PTMs) (catalytic events) Activa-tioninhibition status of proteins alterations in protein local-ization and also genes regulated at mRNA level by TIE2signaling were also documented PathBuilder an in-housepathway annotation tool was used for the curation of thesereactions [49] Each curated reaction was internally reviewedby trained biocurators followed by an external review by aPathway Authority an expert in the field (FMG coauthor ofthis paper)
3 Results and Discussion
Our analysis resulted in the cataloging of 140 uniquemolecules that are reported in TIE2 signaling Thesemolecules were part of 43 PPIs and 102 catalytic events23 activationinhibition events and 11 protein transloca-tion events We have also documented 124 and 65 genesthat were reported to be upregulated and downregulatedrespectively by TIE2 signaling in response to angiopoi-etin(s) in human cells The curated data for TIE2 sig-naling pathway is freely available to the scientific com-munity for visualization and download in different com-munity standard data exchange formats through NetPath[httpwwwnetpathorg] a resource of signaling path-ways These formats include Proteomics Standards Initiativefor Molecular Interaction (PSI-MI version 21) Biological

Angiopoietin-4 (ANGPT4) is also known to be an agonist ofTIE2while angiopoietin-3 (ANGPT3) themouse ortholog ofangiopoietin-4 is reported to be antagonistic toTIE2 [11]Theother member of the TIE family is the orphan receptor TIE1It heterodimerizes with TIE2 and modulates TIE2 signalinginduced by ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 [12] ANGPT1 binding toTIE2 induces dissociation of the TIE1-TIE2 complex [12]Thissuggests that TIE2 signaling is regulated by the molecularbalance between ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 [6 13] and TIE1and TIE2 with another one being the ectodomain cleavageof TIE receptors [14] The activation of TIE2 is achievedby the assembly with tetrameric or higher order multimericangiopoietins clearly differentiating TIE2 from other tyro-sine kinase receptors [15] ANGPT1 induces the translocationof TIE2 to cell-cell junctions and transassociation in theform of homomeric complexes to activate the downstreamsignaling of TIE2 [16]
Binding of ANGPT1 to TIE2 leads to receptor dimer-ization and subsequent activation followed by autophospho-rylation at specific tyrosine residues [15 17] These phos-phorylated sites provide binding platform to a number ofeffector molecules to initiate downstream signaling cascadewhich ultimately controls various cellular responses includ-ing morphogenesis proliferation extracellular matrix inter-action permeability survival and differentiation [18ndash23]TIE2 interacts with p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) via Tyr-1101 and activates PI3K-AKT pathwaywhich inhibits Smac release frommitochondria and increasesthe expression of survivin leading to survival and chemo-taxis of endothelial cells [18 24 25] AKT activation alsoinhibits forkhead transcription factor FKHR (FOXO1) whichprotects endothelial cells from apoptosis [26] ANGPT1 alsoinduces the PI3KAKT mediated activation of eNOS andNO release in endothelial cells [27 28] In endothelial cellsboth ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 also induce TIE2-dependenttranslocation of P-selectin through a PLCG1Ca2+ signalingpathway [29]
SH2 domain containing proteins such as growth factorreceptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) growth factor receptor-bound protein 7 (GRB7) growth factor receptor-bound pro-tein 14 (GRB14) protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptortype 11 (SHP-2) and phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) isrecruited and transphosphorylated by TIE2 [30] GRB2 andSHC1 recruit SOS1 and lead to the activation of Ras-Raf-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway that reg-ulates platelet activating factor synthesis anti-inflammatoryresponses and endothelial cell migration proliferation per-meability and morphogenesis [5 20ndash22 31 32] ThroughSOS1 or PI3Ks angiopoietinTIE2 system also regulates theactivation of RAC1 RHOA CDC42 and focal adhesionkinase 1 to mediate cytoskeleton reorganization and migra-tion of endothelial and synovial cells [33] Angiopoietin-1 induced activation of RHOA results in sequestration ofSRC by DIAPH1 thereby preventing SRC association withVEGFR2 [34] Recruitment of dynamic complexes com-prising NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1) RAS p21 proteinactivator 1 (p120GAP) and P21 protein-activated kinase 1(PAK1) to TIE2 by the DOKs especially DOK2 has beenattributed to increased cell motility [35] TIE2 also interacts
with the inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) activityTNFAIP3 interacting protein 2 (ABIN-2) that inhibits NF-kB transcriptional activity and mediates anti-inflammatoryand antiapoptotic action [36 37] TIE2 activation inducesthe phosphorylation of STAT1 STAT3 and STAT5A5B andtheir subsequent translocation into nucleus to induce theexpression of the cell cycle inhibitor cyclin-dependent kinaseinhibitor 1A (p21) [38] ANGPT2 also interacts with integrinslike integrin 120572V1205735 120572V1205733 and 12057251205731 in endothelial cells withless affinity than TIE2 and can induce TIE2-independentsignaling [39] TIE2 also forms a complex with 12057251205733 andFAKANGPT2 induces phosphorylation of FAK at Serine91012057251205733 internalization and dissociation of p130CAS and talinfrom 12057251205733 [40] Recently ANGPT2 has also been shown toinduce the activation of ERKMSK1CREB pathway to impartcell survival and resistance to doxorubicin in HepG2 cells[41]
Besides the defects in vascular system and angiogene-sis [42ndash44] TIE2 signaling has also been associated withrheumatoid arthritis [45] and asthma [46] Considering theimportance of TIE2 signaling here we provide a manuallycurated enhanced network map of angiopoietin(s)-inducedTIE2-mediated signaling events as a reference platform forfurther biomedical investigations
2 Methods
We screened published research articles related to TIE2signaling NetPath criteria described earlier [47 48] werefollowed for the annotation of protein-protein interac-tions (PPIs) enzyme-substrate relationships and posttrans-lational modifications (PTMs) (catalytic events) Activa-tioninhibition status of proteins alterations in protein local-ization and also genes regulated at mRNA level by TIE2signaling were also documented PathBuilder an in-housepathway annotation tool was used for the curation of thesereactions [49] Each curated reaction was internally reviewedby trained biocurators followed by an external review by aPathway Authority an expert in the field (FMG coauthor ofthis paper)
3 Results and Discussion
Our analysis resulted in the cataloging of 140 uniquemolecules that are reported in TIE2 signaling Thesemolecules were part of 43 PPIs and 102 catalytic events23 activationinhibition events and 11 protein transloca-tion events We have also documented 124 and 65 genesthat were reported to be upregulated and downregulatedrespectively by TIE2 signaling in response to angiopoi-etin(s) in human cells The curated data for TIE2 sig-naling pathway is freely available to the scientific com-munity for visualization and download in different com-munity standard data exchange formats through NetPath[httpwwwnetpathorg] a resource of signaling path-ways These formats include Proteomics Standards Initiativefor Molecular Interaction (PSI-MI version 21) Biological

For effective visualization we have graphically repre-sented the reactions and various cellular processes thatthose reactions mediate in the context of specific studieson TIE2 signaling (Figure 1) PathVisio an open visual-ization tool was used to manually depict this information[50] The pathway map can also be accessed through Net-Slim (httpwwwnetpathorgnetslimTIE2 pathwayhtml)a resource that provides a smaller version of the pathwayby filtering data based on predefined confidence thresholdcriteria [51] At NetSlim a ldquomap with citationrdquo is also pro-vided in which each reaction is linked to the correspondingliterature through PubMed Users can download these mapsin customizable formats such as GenMAPP and gpml
4 Conclusions
This open-access pathway data enables better analysis ofhigh-throughput experimental data and hypothesis-drivenapproaches to study the dynamics of TIE2 signaling fortherapeutic interventions Information on TIE2 pathwayin NetPath will be periodically updated to reflect novelfindings relevant to TIE2 signaling We intend to pro-vide information pertaining to cross-talks of other lig-andreceptor systems such as VEGF TNF-alpha and inte-grins with TIE2 and vice versa in the subsequent versionsin NetPath We encourage scientific community to help usmaintain this resource up-to-date and error-free throughhttpwwwnetpathorgcomments

For effective visualization we have graphically repre-sented the reactions and various cellular processes thatthose reactions mediate in the context of specific studieson TIE2 signaling (Figure 1) PathVisio an open visual-ization tool was used to manually depict this information[50] The pathway map can also be accessed through Net-Slim (httpwwwnetpathorgnetslimTIE2 pathwayhtml)a resource that provides a smaller version of the pathwayby filtering data based on predefined confidence thresholdcriteria [51] At NetSlim a ldquomap with citationrdquo is also pro-vided in which each reaction is linked to the correspondingliterature through PubMed Users can download these mapsin customizable formats such as GenMAPP and gpml
4 Conclusions
This open-access pathway data enables better analysis ofhigh-throughput experimental data and hypothesis-drivenapproaches to study the dynamics of TIE2 signaling fortherapeutic interventions Information on TIE2 pathwayin NetPath will be periodically updated to reflect novelfindings relevant to TIE2 signaling We intend to pro-vide information pertaining to cross-talks of other lig-andreceptor systems such as VEGF TNF-alpha and inte-grins with TIE2 and vice versa in the subsequent versionsin NetPath We encourage scientific community to help usmaintain this resource up-to-date and error-free throughhttpwwwnetpathorgcomments
