Direct visualization of the phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor during its internalization in A-431 cells
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) rapidly stimulates receptor autophosphorylation in A-431 cells. After 1 min the phosphorylated receptor can be identified at the plasma membrane using an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. With further incubation at 37 degrees C, approximately 50% of the phosphorylated EGF receptor was internalized (t1/2 = 5 min) and associated with the tubulovesicular system and later...
متن کاملRapid induction of morphological changes in human carcinoma cells A-431 by epidermal growth factors
The morphological effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on human carcinoma cells A-431 have been examined by scanning electron microscopy. These flat polygonal cells normally exhibit only small membrane folds, but show extensive ruffling and extension of filopodia within 5 min of exposure to EGF at 37 degrees C. This ruffling activity is transient, subsiding within another 5--15 min, but sev...
متن کاملRapid stimulation of pinocytosis in human carcinoma cells A-431 by epidermal growth factor
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) uptake was used to measure fluid-phase pinocytosis in monolayers of human epithelioid carcinoma cells (A-431). Histochemistry confirmed that cell-associated HRP was restricted to intracellular vesicles. Biochemical methods showed that HRP uptake in control cultures was directly proportional to the duration of exposure. The addition of low concentrations of epidermal...
متن کاملDirect visualization of the binding and internalization of a ferritin conjugate of epidermal growth factor in human carcinoma cells A-431
We have prepared a conjugate of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and ferritin that retains substantial binding affinity for cell receptors and is biologically active. Glutaraldehyde-activated EGF was covalently linked to ferritin to produce a conjugate that contained EGF and ferritin in a 1:1 molar ratio. The conjugate was separated from free ferritin by affinity chromatography using antibodies to...
متن کاملRapid rounding of human epidermoid carcinoma cells A-431 induced by epidermal growth factor
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces rapid rounding of A-431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells in Ca(++)-free medium. Cell rounding is not induced by a variety of other polypeptide hormones, antiserum to cell membranes, local anesthetics, colchicine, cytochalasin B, or cyclic nucleotides. However, trypsin, like EGF, induces rounding of A- 431 cells in the absence of Ca(++). Both trypsin- and EG...
