Using phosphotyrosine proteomics, we identified proteins that were differentially phosphorylated before renal cell detachment and apoptosis. Treatment of primary cultured rat proximal tubular epithelial cells with the model nephrotoxicant S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-l-cysteine (DCVC) resulted in early reorganization of F-actin stress fibers and formation of lamellipodia, which was followed by cell detachment from the matrix and apoptosis. This was prevented by genistein-mediated inhibition of protein tyrosine kinases and enhanced by inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases using vanadate. Phosphotyrosine proteomics revealed that DCVC-induced renal cell apoptosis was preceded by changes in the tyrosine phosphorylation status of a subset of proteins, as identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS including actin-related protein 2 (Arp2), cytokeratin 8, t-complex protein 1 (TCP-1), chaperone containing TCP-1, and gelsolin precursor. The major differentially tyrosine-phosphorylated protein was Arp2, whereas phosphorylation of Arp3 was not affected. Arp2 was located in the lamellipodia that were formed before the onset of apoptosis. Because DCVC-induced cell detachment and apoptosis is regulated by tyrosine kinases, we propose that alterations in tyrosine phosphorylation of a subset of proteins, including Arp2, play a role in the regulation of the F-actin reorganization and lamellipodia formation that precede renal cell apoptosis caused by nephrotoxicants.
