EGFR regulation of epidermal barrier function.
Keratinocyte terminal differentiation is the process that ultimately forms the epidermal barrier that is essential for mammalian survival. This process is controlled, in part, by signal transduction and gene expression mechanisms, and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is known to be an important regulator of multiple epidermal functions. Using microarray analysis of a confluent cell d...
متن کاملRegulation of epidermal sphingolipid synthesis by permeability barrier function.
A mixture of sphingolipids, cholesterol, and free fatty acids forms the intercellular membrane bilayers of the stratum corneum which are presumed to regulate epidermal barrier function. Prior studies have shown that both cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis are rapidly regulated by epidermal barrier requirements. In contrast, the importance of sphingolipids in barrier function has not been dire...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملBarrier function regulates epidermal DNA synthesis.
We examined the possibility that the cutaneous permeability barrier regulates epidermal DNA synthesis in two acute and two chronic models of barrier perturbation. In animals treated topically with acetone, DNA synthesis is increased 102%, in tape-stripped animals 127%, in essential fatty acid deficient animals 50%, and in animals chronically treated with topical lovastatin 64%. This linkage bet...
متن کاملEpidermal Growth Factor and Intestinal Barrier Function
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a 53-amino acid peptide that plays an important role in regulating cell growth, survival, migration, apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation. In addition, EGF has been established to be an effective intestinal regulator helping to protect intestinal barrier integrity, which was essential for the absorption of nutrients and health in humans and animals. Sev...
