چکیده
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a smooth muscle cell mitogen composed of both EGF receptor and heparin-binding domains. To better understand the function of its domains, intact HB-EGF or its heparin-binding (HB) domain (amino acids 1-45) were fused to a mutant Pseudomonas exotoxin with an inactivated cell-binding domain. The resulting chimeric toxins, HB-EGF-PE* and HB-PE*, were tested on tumor cells, proliferating smooth muscle cells and a mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell line deficient in heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Two targets were found for HB-EGF-PE*. Cells were killed mainly through EGF receptors, but the HB domain was responsible for killing via HSPGs. HB-PE* did not bind to the EGF receptor and thus was cytotoxic by interacting exclusively with HSPGs. We conclude that the HB domain of HB-EGF is able to mediate internalization through HSPGs, without requiring the EGF receptor.

Role of the Interaction of proHB - EGF with Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) exhibits activity as a juxtacrine, paracrine, and autocrine ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and possesses the ability to bind heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). The interaction of HB-EGF with HSPGs has been previously studied only with the soluble (autocrine/paracrine) form of the protein (sHB-EGF), ...
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...
متن کاملReceptor-based antidote for diphtheria.
Although equine diphtheria antitoxin may be an effective therapy for human diphtheria, its use often induces serum sickness. We describe here a strategy for developing an alternative treatment based on the human diphtheria toxin (DT) receptor/heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) precursor. Recombinant mature human HB-EGF acts as a soluble receptor analog, binding ...

Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), but not EGF, binds to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG). This was demonstrated in (a) the binding of 125I-HB-EGF to mutant CHO cells deficient in HS production was diminished by 70% compared to wild-type CHO cells, (b) the binding of 125I-HB-EGF to CHO cells and bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (BASMC) was diminished 80% by hepari...
