Epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha.
This review describes the discovery and initial characterization of the epidermal growth factors (EGFs) and transforming growth factors alpha (TGF alpha), the biosynthesis and tissue distribution of these molecules and a brief description of the effects of these molecules in culture and animals. An analysis of the similarities between the EGFs and TGF alpha s from different organisms is used to...
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 کاملTransforming growth factor-beta modulates the high-affinity receptors for epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-alpha
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mediates the induction of a transformed phenotype in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells by transforming growth factors (TGFs). The ability of EGF and its analogue TGF-alpha to induce the transformed phenotype in NRK cells is greatly potentiated by TGF-beta, a polypeptide that does not interact directly with binding sites for EGF or TGF-alpha. Our evidence i...
متن کاملVaccinia virus growth factor stimulates tyrosine protein kinase activity of A431 cell epidermal growth factor receptors.
Infection of A431 cells with vaccinia virus, or exposure to a mitogenic polypeptide secreted by vaccinia virus-infected cells, induces tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptors.
متن کاملThe epidermal growth factor-induced calcium signal in A431 cells.
Addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to human A431 cells causes a 2-4-fold increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) as measured by quin-2 fluorescence. The EGF effect is rapid but transient: [Ca2+]i reaches a maximum within 30-60 s and then returns to its resting value (182 +/- 3 nM) over a 5-8-min period. The EGF-induced [Ca2+]i rise is completely dependent on extracellul...
