Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors and Breast Cancer
Growth factors are polypeptides that stimulate cell proliferation through binding to specific high-affinity cell membrane receptors. Plasma contains small quantities of growth factors. Platelets contain large amounts and it is thought that these are delivered to sites of injury where they may influence wound healing and repair. Growth factors are present in a variety of other tissues and have d...
متن کاملDimerization of internalized epidermal growth factor receptors.
Binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to cell surface EGF receptors initiates the formation of the receptor homodimers that can be detected by covalent cross-linking in intact cells or in detergent-solubilized cell extracts. Low pH dissociation of EGF from surface receptors results in immediate monomerization of receptor dimers. Using chemical cross-linking during mild permeabilization or ce...
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 کاملThe prognostic significance of epidermal growth factor receptor expression in squamous cell carcinomas of the oesophagus.
EGFR expression in 150 potentially curative resected squamous cell carcinomas of the oesophagus was analyzed immunohistochemically and correlated with survival. Altogether, 124 of 150 (82.7%) tumours expressed different levels of EGFR. The percentage of tumour cells expressing EGFR varied greatly between the different tumours (median: 70%). 62 (50.0%) tumours showed weak and intense staining, r...
متن کاملAssessment of epidermal growth factor receptor status in glioblastomas
Objective(s): Our previous study showed that a newly designed tracer radioiodinated 6-(3-morpholinopropoxy)-7-ethoxy-4-(3'-iodophenoxy)quinazoline ([125I]PYK) is promising for the evaluation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status and prediction of gefitinib treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. EGFR is over-expressed and mutated also in glioblastoma. In the present study, the ...
