Mutual induction of growth factor gene expression by epidermal-dermal cell interaction
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control epidermal growth and differentiation, but little is known about the mechanisms of this interaction. We have examined the effects of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMEC) and fibroblasts on keratinocytes in conventional (feeder layer) and organotypic cocultures (lifted collagen gels) and demonstrated the induction of paracrine growth fact...
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 کاملRegulation of estrogen receptor- gene expression by epidermal growth factor
The role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the regulation of estrogen receptor(ER) gene expression in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was investigated. Treatment of cells with 0·4 ng/ml EGF resulted in an approximately 60% decrease in ERprotein concentration by 6 h and the amount of receptor remained suppressed for 24 h. Ligand binding assays demonstrated that the decrease in ERprotei...
متن کاملEpidermal Growth Factor Receptor Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Immunohistochemical Technique and its Correlation with Clinicopathological Features
Background:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity. Despite some improvements in treatment, the survival rate is still very low, mainly due to the possible development of secondary malignancy or metastasis. Clinical and pathological features as well as molecular biomarkers might predict the recurrence. In recent years, many studies ...
متن کاملendometriosis: a history written by aberrant hoxa10 gene expression and epidermal growth factor (egf) system polymorphism?
endometriosis is a gynecologic disorder characterized by the presence of viable, extrauterine endometrial tissue, predominantly on the ovary and pelvic peritoneum (1-3). typical symptoms consist of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility (1, 2). this condition takes place only in women of menstrual age, can grow or bleed cyclically and may cause adhesions (1, 2). endometriosis represents a w...
