Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor is a potent regulator of invasion activity in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) has been shown to stimulate the growth of various cell types in an autocrine or paracrine manner. Although HB-EGF is widely expressed in tumors when compared with normal tissue, its contribution to cancer progression remains obscure. The objective of this study was to explor...
متن کاملSignaling mechanisms of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor in vascular smooth muscle cells.
A host of growth factors have been implicated in vascular pathologies; one such factor is heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF). Although HB-EGF has been shown to stimulate mitogenesis and chemotaxis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), its signaling mechanism remains undefined. In this study, we examined possible signal transduction pathways by which HB-EGF lea...
متن کاملHeparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor, a v-Jun target gene, induces oncogenic transformation.
Jun is a transcription factor belonging to the activator protein 1 family. A mutated version of Jun (v-Jun) transduced by the avian retrovirus ASV17 induces oncogenic transformation in avian cell cultures and sarcomas in young galliform birds. The oncogenicity of Jun probably results from transcriptional deregulation of v-Jun-responsive target genes. Here we describe the identification and char...
متن کاملThe expression of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor by regulatory macrophages.
We previously described a population of regulatory macrophages that produced high levels of IL-10 and low levels of IL-12/23. We now describe and characterize the expression of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) by these macrophages. HB-EGF has previously been associated with a number of physiological and pathological conditions, including tumor growth and...
متن کاملInduction of collecting duct morphogenesis in vitro by heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor.
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), a member of the epidermal growth factor family of growth factors, is synthesized as a membrane-an-chored precursor (proHB-EGF) that is capable of stimulating adjacent cells in a juxtacrine manner. ProHB-EGF is cleaved in a protein kinase C-dependent process, to yield the soluble form. It was observed that HB-EGF acts as a morp...
