Altered 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 کاملNonneoplastic Human Kidney Tissue Growth Factor Receptor Messenger RNA in Neoplastic and and Epidermal α Expression of Transforming Growth Factor
Using Northern blot analysis, we have demonstrated that mRNA for transforming growth factor a (TGF-a) was expressed in five malignant kidney tissue specimens but was not detected in their autologous nonneoplastic homologues. In addition, the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mRNA in these malignant tissues was 2to 3-fold greater than in nontransformed tissues. In two cases ex...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha.
This review describes the discovery and initial characterization of the epidermal growth factors (EGFs) and transforming growth factors alpha (TGF alpha), the biosynthesis and tissue distribution of these molecules and a brief description of the effects of these molecules in culture and animals. An analysis of the similarities between the EGFs and TGF alpha s from different organisms is used to...
متن کاملGenes for epidermal growth factor receptor, transforming growth factor alpha, and epidermal growth factor and their expression in human gliomas in vivo.
Anomalies of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, including amplification, rearrangement, and overexpression, have been reported in malignant human gliomas in vivo. In vitro glioma cell lines coexpress EGFR and at least one of its ligands, transforming growth factor alpha, suggesting the existence of an autocrine growth stimulatory loop. We have studied the tumor tissue from 62 hum...
متن کاملExpression of epidermal growth factor and epidermal growth factor receptor immunoreactivity in the asthmatic human airway.
Chronic airway inflammation, one of the pathophysiologic features of bronchial asthma, is suspected to be responsible for irreversible pathological changes of airways, called airway remodeling. To examine the mechanisms of airway remodeling in asthma, we investigated the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor immunohistochemically in asthmatic human airways. Airway specime...
