Potency and stability of C terminal truncated human epidermal growth factor.
INTRODUCTION Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is normally present as EGF(1-53). A variety of C terminal truncated forms have been used in preliminary trials for treating gastrointestinal injury but their relative potency and stability when used in a clinical setting are unclear. Therefore, we compared the biological activity of recombinant EGF(1-53), EGF(1-52), EGF(1-51), and the C terminal peptid...
متن کاملThe c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase is essential for epidermal growth factor expression during epidermal morphogenesis.
The c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) group of mitogen-activated protein kinases is activated in response to a wide array of cellular stresses and proinflammatory cytokines. Roles for JNK in the developing nervous system and T-cell-mediated immunity have been established by detailed studies of mice with compound mutations in the Jnk genes. However, little is known concerning the roles of JNK in...
متن کاملproduction of human epidermal growth factor using adenoviral based system
epidermal growth factor (egf), a growth factor involved in cell growth and differentiation, is a small polypeptide with molecular weight of approximately 6 kda known to be present in a number of different mammalian species. experimental studies in animals and humans have demonstrated that the topical application of egf accelerates the rate of epidermal regeneration of partial-thickness wounds a...
متن کاملBreast Carcinoma; Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) and Grading Correlation
Introduction: Overexpression of Human Epidermal Growth factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) is one of the most important prognostic and predictive factors of breast cancer, observed in 25% - 30% of breast carcinoma patients leading to poor prognosis and feasible anti HER-2 antibody drugs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the HER-2 frequency in target population and its correlat...
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 ...
