General Comment NCBI Summary: This gene encodes three main isoforms that differ in activities and subcellular location. While all three are adapter proteins in signal transduction pathways, the longest (p66Shc) may be involved in regulating life span and the effects of reactive oxygen species. The other two isoforms, p52Shc and p46Shc, link activated receptor tyrosine kinases to the Ras pathway by recruitment of the GRB2/SOS complex. p66Shc is not involved in Ras activation. Unlike the other two isoforms, p46Shc is targeted to the mitochondrial matrix. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Comment Suppression of p66Shc prevents hyperandrogenism-induced ovarian oxidative stress and fibrosis. Wang D et al. (2020) Rats with hyperandrogen-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have been shown to develop ovarian oxidative stress (OS) and fibrosis. The Sirt1 agonist, resveratrol, can reduce OS through inhibiting p66Shc in other models of OS. We created a rat PCOS model with increased OS levels following treatment with one of the two androgens, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The PCOS related features were determined by measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels or by examining the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels using the DCF-DA probe. The potential mechanisms by which p66Shc/Sirt1 mediates ovarian fibrosis were explored by western blotting, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, immunofluorescence staining, and immunohistochemistry. Hyperandrogen dramatically augmented OS and activation of fibrotic factors in the ovary. Our data demonstrated that treatment with resveratrol enhanced Sirt1 and decreased ovarian OS as well as inhibited phosphorylation of p66Shc both in vivo and in vitro. The treatment suppressed fibrotic factor activation and improved ovarian morphology. Lentivirus- or siRNA-mediated p66Shc knockdown resulted in a dramatic enhancement of Sirt1 expression, down-regulation of ROS and suppression of fibrotic factors in granulosa cells. Moreover, p66Shc overexpression markedly increased the expression of fibrotic factors. Additionally, silencing Sirt1 induced a dramatic increase in p66Shc and enhanced activation of fibrotic factors. p66Shc may be a direct target of Sirt1 for inducing ROS and thus promoting fibrosis. Further exploration of the mechanisms of p66Shc in both fibrosis and OS may provide novel therapeutic strategies that will facilitate the improvement in PCOS symptoms and reproductive functions.//////////////////
Expression regulated by LH
Comment Carvalho CR, et al reported a novel signal transduction pathway for luteinizing hormone and its interaction with insulin and the activation of Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription and phosphoinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathways. The actions of LH are mediated through a single class of cell surface LH/human chorionic gonadotropin receptor, which is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. In the present study the authors showed that LH induced rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) in rat ovary. Upon JAK2 activation, tyrosine phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT-1), STAT-5b, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and Src homology and collagen homology (Shc) were detected. In addition, LH induced IRS-1/phosphoinositol 3-kinase and Shc /growth factor receptor-binding protein 2 (Grb2) associations and downstream AKT (protein kinase B, homologous to v-AKT) serine phosphorylation and ERK tyrosine phosphorylation, respectively. The simultaneous infusion of insulin and LH induced higher phosphorylation levels of JAK2, STAT5b, IRS-1, and AKT compared with each hormone alone in the whole ovary of normal rats. By immunohistochemistry the authors demonstrated that these late events take place in follicular cells and both external and internal theca. These results indicate a new signal transduction pathway for LH and show that there is positive cross-talk between the insulin and LH signaling pathways at the level of phosphoinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway in this tissue.
