Induction of cell proliferation in avian inner ear sensory epithelia by insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin.
Postembryonic production of inner-ear hair cells occurs both normally and after insult in lower vertebrates and avians. To determine how this proliferation is controlled, several growth factors were tested for effects on progenitor-cell division in cultured avian vestibular sensory epithelium. Mitogenic effects of bombesin, epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), insulin,...
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 کاملEpidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-alpha stimulate the proliferation of mouse uterine stromal cells.
Growth factors produced in the uterine endometrium are considered to be involved in the proliferation of the mouse uterine stromal cells induced by estradiol-17beta (E(2)) and progesterone (P). The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), one of EGF-related growth factors, on the proliferation of mouse uterine stromal cells was studied in a serum...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha characteristics of human oral carcinoma cell lines.
This study examined the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) cell-surface receptors, the response to exogenous ligand and the autocrine production of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) in normal and carcinoma-derived human oral keratinocytes. One of eight malignant cell lines overexpressed EGF receptors, while the remainder expressed receptor numbers similar to normal cells. Ex...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta modulates the high-affinity receptors for epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-alpha
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mediates the induction of a transformed phenotype in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells by transforming growth factors (TGFs). The ability of EGF and its analogue TGF-alpha to induce the transformed phenotype in NRK cells is greatly potentiated by TGF-beta, a polypeptide that does not interact directly with binding sites for EGF or TGF-alpha. Our evidence i...
