We have shown that GEP100 links EGFR signaling to Arf6 activation to induce invasive activities of some breast cancer cells. Our analyses demonstrate that the same GEP100-Arf6-AMAP1 pathway is essential for VEGF-induced angiogenesis activities, and that VEGFR2, via phospho-Tyr951, binds to the PH domain of GEP100 to activate the Arf6-AMAP1 pathway to induce angiogenesis. Moreover, we found the small compound that inhibits the interaction between GEP100 and VEGFR-2. The GEP100-Arf6-AMAP1 pathway, activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, appears to be common in angiogenesis and cancer invasion, and provide their new therapeutic targets from a pathological analysis.
