Regulation

Activation:
Activated by binding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which induces dimerization and autophosphorylation. Autophosphorylation of Tyr-1169 induces interaction with PLCg1. Autophosphorylation of Tyr-1213 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with Grb2, PLCg1 and SHP2. Autophosphorylation of Tyr-1333 induces interaction with Cbl, Crk, Nck1 and PLCg1.
Inhibition:
NA
Synthesis:
NA
Degradation:
NA

Disease Linkage

General Disease Association:

Cancer, reproductive disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):

Pre-eclampsia; Eclampsia; Placental insufficiency; Acute mountain sickness; Lipodermatosclerosis
Comments:
Pre-eclampsia is a pregancy complication characterized by the maternal development of high blood pressure (hypertension) and high levels of protein in the urine. This complication usually occurs in the last few months of the pregnancy and commonly results in the premature delivery of the infant. Placental insufficiency is a pregnancy complication characterized by insufficient blood flow to the placenta, which can results in fetal distress and a range of other pregnancy complications, including fetal death. Mutations in FLT1 are associated with these disorders. In women with pre-eclampsia, increased expression of FLT1 correlated with decreased levels of circulating VEGF and PGF, which is predicted to cause defects in the endothelial cells of the blood vessels. In animal studies, administration of the FLT1 protein to pregnant rats resulted in the development of hypertension, proteinuria (protein in the urine), and glomerula endothliosis, which closely resembled the pre-eclampsia phenotype in humans. Therefore, increased activity and/or expression of the FLT1 protein has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia and placental insufficiently.
 
Specific Cancer Types:
Breast cancer; Meningioma; Astrocytoma; Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma; Cancer-associated retinopathy; Microcystic meningioma
Comments:
FLT1 appears to be an oncoprotein (OP). Cancer-related mutations in human tumours point to a gain of function of the protein kinase. Gain-of-function mutations in the FLT1 gene are associated with cancer development. FLT1 expression has been shown to contribute to cancer cell survival, proliferation, migration, tissue invasion, tumour angiogenesis, and metastasis. In addition, FLT1 may promote cancer pathogenesis by enhancing inflammatory responses and recruiting tumor-infiltrating macrophages.
 
Gene Expression in Cancers:

TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cRCC) (%CFC= +288, p<0.0006); Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cRCC) (%CFC= +130, p<0.075); Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cRCC) stage I (%CFC= +311, p<0.009); Malignant pleural mesotheliomas (MPM) tumours (%CFC= -51, p<0.02); Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +139, p<0.0001); Skin melanomas (%CFC= -46, p<0.1); and Skin melanomas - malignant (%CFC= -52, p<0.045). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for FLT1 in diverse human cancers of 347, which is 0.8-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 0 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 100% lower than the average score of 60 for the human protein kinases.
Mutagenesis Experiments:

Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:

Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.12 % in 25596 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is a modest 1.54-fold higher than the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:

Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.7 % in 856 skin cancers tested; 0.57 % in 1128 large intestine cancers tested; 0.34 % in 590 stomach cancers tested; 0.21 % in 1949 lung cancers tested; 0.19 % in 602 endometrium cancers tested; 0.12 % in 605 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1270 liver cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1226 kidney cancers tested; 0.05 % in 1963 central nervous system cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:

Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R781Q (9).
Comments:
Only 7 deletion, 2 insertions and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
