Estrogen regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor messenger ribonucleic acid.
Previous studies have demonstrated that 17 beta-estradiol (E2) causes a 3-fold increase in epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in uterine membranes. We now report that the increase in uterine EGF receptor levels is due to an increase in the steady-state levels of EGF receptor mRNA. After a single E2 injection, EGF receptor mRNA levels, as determined by RNA blots, increase 3- to 4-fold betwe...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 regulates the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor messenger RNA in normal human fibroblasts.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been reported to control angiogenesis and play an important role in wound healing in soft tissues, although the precise mechanism is still unknown. Since basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been reported to generate neovascularization, PGE2 and bFGF might work closely, or one might control the expression of the other. In this study, we demonstrate that PGE2 enh...
متن کاملExpression of basic fibroblast growth factor in nasal polyps.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a polypeptide that is mitogenic for a wide variety of cell types. We used Northern blot analysis and immunohistochemistry to determine if bFGF is expressed in the nasal polyp tissue; bFGF messenger RNA was detectable in the polyps examined by Northern blot analysis. Strong immunostaining for bFGF was found in blood vessels and along the basement membrane...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor increases IFT88 expression in chondrocytes
Intraflagellar transport protein 88 (IFT88) is protein crucial for the assembly and maintenance of primary cilia in chondrocytes. Primary cilia regulate mechanical and chemical signals in chondrocytes; however, the effects of cytokines on IFT88 expression and cilia formation and maintenance remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on IFT88 expression...
متن کاملGrowth hormone-independent expression of insulin-like growth factor I messenger ribonucleic acid in extrahepatic tissues of the chicken.
The sex-linked dwarf (SLD) chicken, which lacks GH receptor (GHR), and its normal littermates provide a useful experimental system to investigate GH-dependent cellular responses. The GH dependence of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) expression in tissues was examined in SLD and normal chickens of the Gifu 20 strain. Four weeks after hatching, the most abundant expression of IGF-I messenger ...
