The Soluble Heparin-Binding EGF-Like Growth Factor Stimulates EGF Receptor Trafficking to the Nucleus
Most ligands of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have the ability to induce EGFR translocation into the nucleus, where EGFR acts as an important transcriptional regulator. Soluble form of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (sHB-EGF) is one of the ligands for EGFR in many cell types; however, there is no evidence for the ability of sHB-EGF to induce EGFR nuclear importation. Here, we ...
متن کاملHeparin-binding EGF-like growth factor contributes to reduced glomerular filtration rate during glomerulonephritis in rats.
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is expressed during inflammatory and pathological conditions. We have cloned the rat HB-EGF and followed the expression of HB-EGF in rat kidneys treated with anti- glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody (Ab) to induce glomerulonephritis (GN). We observed glomerula...
متن کاملLow nitric oxide bioavailability up-regulates renal heparin binding EGF-like growth factor expression
Decreased nitric oxide bioavailability has an important role in the initiation and progression of diabetic nephropathy, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we found that heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) expression levels increased in the kidneys of both endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-knockout and eNOS-knockout diabetic (Lepr(db/db)) m...
متن کاملHeparin-binding EGF-like growth factor regulates elastin and FGF-2 expression in pulmonary fibroblasts.
Elastase degradation of elastin within alveolar walls is an important event in the development of pulmonary emphysema. In addition to elastolytic activities, elastases release growth factors from extracellular matrices and interstitial cell surfaces that can regulate elastogenesis and other cellular responses. In the present study, we demonstrate that brief treatment of matrix-laden rat pulmona...
متن کاملHeparin-dependent binding and autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor but not by EGF.
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a recently identified member of the EGF family of growth factors and a potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells genetically engineered to express the human EGF receptor bind with high affinity both EGF and HB-EGF. CHO mutant cells lacking heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) bind EGF equally well...
