The present study was undertaken to compare the relationship between response to exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) and the expression of the EGF-receptor (EGF-R) in an androgen sensitive (LNCaP) and insensitive (DU145) prostate cancer cell line. Although both cell lines demonstrated a single EGF-R binding site of similar high affinities (mean dissociation constant (Kd) ± S.D. for DU145 = ...

An immediate effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the cell cycle is described. EGF, when given to replicating cells such as I lei a, A431, and D HER 14, very rapidly inhibits the transition from <;, phase to mitosis (M) in a transient fashion. The influence of EGF (10~'°to IO"7 M concentrations) on the (,;-M transition of individual cells has been analyzed by time-lapse photography in ce...

An immediate effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the cell cycle is described. EGF, when given to replicating cells such as HeLa, A431, and D HER 14, very rapidly inhibits the transition from G2 phase to mitosis (M) in a transient fashion. The influence of EGF (10(-10) to 10(-7) M concentrations) on the G2-M transition of individual cells has been analyzed by time-lapse photography in cel...

To assess the functional significance of phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor at Thr654, we compared the effects of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-acetate (TPA) on ligand-induced internalization and down-regulation between wild-type and mutant receptors that contain an alanine substitution at position 654. Activation of protein kinase C with TPA blocked EGF-induced internalizati...

signaling pathways are not isolated from their surroundings. they are also intervened by other signaling pathways known as “crosstalk mechanism”. one of the most important crosstalk mechanisms is the insulinegf network. although insulin and epidermal growth factor (egf) networks have some complexity in their isolated forms, their complexities will grow in the crosstalk network. in this study, w...

The lateral diffusion coefficients of various epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mutants with increasing deletions in their carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain were compared. A full size cDNA construct of human EGF receptor and different deletion constructs were expressed in monkey COS cells. The EGF receptor mutants expressed on the cell surface of the COS cells were labeled with rhodamine...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa microsoftinternetexplorer4 aim : the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of rs4444903 (egf+61a/g) snp genotype with colorectal cancer and tumor stage in an iranian population. background : epidermal growth factor ( egf ) is one of the important proteins that determine survival of cells. egf binds to its receptor on the cell surface ...

The expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was examined immunohistochemically in a total of 122 gastric and 61 colonic carcinomas, out of which 16 gastric and 8 colonic carcinomas were also examined by 125I-labeled EGF binding analysis and Western blotting. The values of EGF binding were 12.68 +/- 1.98 (SE; n = 16) fmol/mg protein in gastric carcinomas and 5.72 +/- 2.15 (n = 8) fm...

Secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) plays important roles in mediating various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory response. In this study, we demonstrated that a basic sPLA(2) inhibits epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced EGF receptor activation, as determined by autophosphorylation of EGF receptor, EGF-activated phospholipase D (P...

aim : this study aimed to determinant association between rs76189946 polymorphism of egf gene and risk of colorectal cancer in an iranian population. background : colorectal cancer (crc) is the third most prevalent cancer in both genders worldwide. the determination of genetic variation becomes a new way to etiology of colorectal cancer. epidermal growth factor (egf) is a mitogen that plays an ...
