Model for Mena-dependent regulation of RTK signaling. In average primary tumor cells, activation of EGFR leads to rapid recruitment of a SHIP2-Mena-PTP1B complex, which leads to receptor dephosphorylation by PTP1B and sensitivity to TKIs. However, in the invasive tumor cell population, where levels of MenaINV are high, SHIP2-dependent recruitment of PTP1B to EGFR is abolished, eliminating PTP1B-mediated dephosphorylation of EGFR, causing sensitivity to EGF, as well as resistance to TKIs.
