A novel effect of EGF on mRNA stability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Expression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene is stimulated by EGF and the phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). PMA elevates EGF receptor mRNA levels in human KB epidermoid carcinoma cells, but does not significantly affect the half-life of this mRNA when its decay is examined after the addition of actinomycin D. In contrast, EGF greatly prolongs the half-life of EGF receptor mRNA suggesting a possible mechanism for the stimulatory effect of EGF on EGF receptor mRNA levels. EGF also stabilizes beta-tubulin and beta-actin mRNAs but has very little effect on the degradation of total mRNA.

Epidermal growth factor-stimulated parathyroid hormone-related protein expression involves increased gene transcription and mRNA stability.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) produced rapid and striking effects on parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) gene expression in the immortalized human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT. Steady-state levels of PTHrP mRNA and secreted PTHrP were increased 10-fold by maximally effective concentrations of EGF. EGF increased both PTHrP gene transcription and PTHrP mRNA stability. Nuclear run-on assa...
متن کاملSynergistic induction of ornithine decarboxylase by asparagine and gut peptides in intestinal crypt cells.
The objective of this study was to determine whether the amino acid asparagine stimulated the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) synergistically with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or gastrin in IEC-6 cells, a line of normal rat small intestinal crypt cells. Cells were grown in DMEM containing 5% dialyzed fetal bovine serum, and serum was deprived for 24 h before experiments. Exposure to ...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor increases the interaction between nucleolin and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K/poly(C) binding protein 1 complex to regulate the gastrin mRNA turnover.
Gastrin, a gastrointestinal hormone responsible for gastric acid secretion, has been confirmed as a growth factor for gastrointestinal tract malignancies. High expression of gastrin mRNA was observed in pancreatic and colorectal cancer; however, the mechanism is unclear. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) was found to increase gastrin mRNA stability, indicating mRNA turnover regulation mechanism is ...
متن کاملDown-regulation of Drosophila Egf-r mRNA levels following hyperactivated receptor signaling.
Internalization of ligand-receptor complexes is a well-documented mechanism for limiting the duration and magnitude of a signaling event. In the case of the EGF-Receptor (EGF-R), exposure to EGF or TGF-alpha results in internalization of up to 95% of the surface receptor pool within 5 minutes of exposure to ligand. In this report, we show that levels of Drosophila Egf-r mRNA are strongly down-r...
متن کاملEffect of EGF on development of bovine embryo cultured in G1/G2 sequential media
The nutritional requirements of mammalian embryos changes throughout pre-implantation period, coincident with changes in the secretion of the female reproductive tract. Therefore, it has been suggested that sequential culture media may support nutritional requirements for optimal growth of the mammalian embryos. In this study, we investigated the effect of two different concentrations (10 or 10...
