Airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass is likely to be an important determinant of airway responsiveness. Highly inbred Fisher rats model innate hyperresponsiveness, and also have more ASM in vivo than control Lewis rats. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is an important endogenous growth factor for ASM, and partially purified PDGF-AB causes enhanced growth of Fisher rat ASM cells, compared to Lewis cells. The aim of the present study was to determine the mitogenic effects of all three recombinant PDGF isoforms on ASM cells, and investigate the mechanisms of enhanced Fisher ASM growth responses. The potential mechanisms assessed include PDGF receptor expression and activation (tyrosine phosphorylation), and intracellular calcium (Ca2+) responses to PDGF isoforms. Fisher ASM cells had a greater mitogenic response to PDGF-AB and -AA, and a greater Ca2+ response to -BB than Lewis ASM cells. A Ca2+ response was not necessary for a mitogenic response, and the effects of PDGF isoforms on Ca2+ were not associated with their effects on growth. Therefore, we suggest that enhanced Fisher mitogenic response to PDGF-AA and -AB is not mediated by differences in Ca2+ signalling. Western analysis of the PDGF receptor indicated a similar expression of beta-PDGF receptor in ASM cells from the two rat strains, but a greater expression of alpha-PDGF receptor in Fisher cells; however, phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor following growth stimulation did not differ between strains. This suggests a role for post-receptor signals, in addition to enhanced receptor expression, in the enhanced growth response of Fisher ASM cells to PDGF-AA and -AB. 相似文献

A comparison of the platelet-derived growth factor-dependent tyrosine kinase activity in sparse and confluent fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Confluent (density-inhibited) human foreskin fibroblasts require a higher concentration of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to elicit a mitogenic response than do sparse (nondensity-inhibited) fibroblasts. The PDGF receptor number and apparent affinity were similar in the two preparations of cells. The intrinsic kinase activity of the PDGF receptor from sparse and confluent fibroblasts was therefore examined in an attempt to explain the differential mitogenic response to PDGF. When membranes from sparse and confluent cells containing equal PDGF binding capacity were incubated with increasing concentrations of PDGF, the putative PDGF receptor (a 180-kD component), was phosphorylated on its tyrosyl residues to a similar extent. The time course of tyrosine phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor from sparse and confluent cell membranes was also found to be similar. To determine whether the phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor from isolated membranes differed from the analogous phosphorylation in intact cells, sparse and confluent fibroblasts were metabolically labeled with [32P]H3PO4, stimulated with PDGF, solubilized, and the cell proteins were immunoprecipitated with a phosphotyrosine-specific antibody. The extent of PDGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor from sparse vs. confluent fibroblasts was quite similar. The time course of the tyrosine dephosphorylation of the PDGF receptor was also similar in the two populations. Because comparable extents of PDGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor were observed despite the differential PDGF-induced mitogenic response of sparse and confluent fibroblasts, we tentatively conclude that 1) PDGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor is not tightly coupled to the propagation of the mitogenic signal and 2) density-dependent inhibition of growth does not reflect any measurable change in the quantity of kinase activity of the PDGF receptor. 相似文献

The response of AKR-2B mouse fibroblasts, which express approximately equal numbers of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-alpha and -beta receptors on their surface (V. Hoppe et al. Eur. J. Biochem. 187, 207-214, 1990) to all three isoforms of PDGF, was studied. All isoforms stimulated early events, i.e., receptor autophosphorylation on tyrosine, total cellular phosphorylation, increase in 32P-labeled phospholipid content, but there was no correlation between the extents measured for the different effects. Although rPDGF-AA effectively stimulated these early events, it was unable to induce [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell growth whereas rPDGF-BB and -AB stimulated the division of more than 90% of the cells. This activity was restored by addition of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), which itself exhibited only a low mitogenic activity. rPDGF-AB or -BB did not require the presence of IGF-I to fully stimulate cells for [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell division. Apparently, rPDGF-AA induced only a "competence" state of the cells whereas rPDGF-AB or -BB was also able to initiate "progression". It is speculated that some early events occurring during the competence phase might be part of a "maintenance" program elicited by growth factors. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) cooperates with a wide variety of polypeptide growth factors to synergistically stimulate the proliferation of many vertebrate cell types. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying these cooperative interactions are for the most part unknown. We have identified one such mechanism by observing that (i) cultured rat Schwann cells proliferate in response to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) only if simultaneously cultured in the presence of agents that elevate intracellular cAMP and (ii) this unmasked PDGF response is accounted for by a dramatic cAMP-mediated induction of PDGF receptor mRNA and protein. cAMP-mediated induction of the PDGF receptor results in enhanced, ligand dependent receptor autophosphorylation, and in enhanced PDGF activation of c-fos gene expression. In addition, this induction is unique to those cells, such as Schwann cells, for which cAMP is itself mitogenic. These results indicate that the synergistic proliferative effect obtained from the combination of cAMP and polypeptide growth factors may in large result from the cAMP-mediated induction of growth factor receptors. 相似文献

We studied the antagonistic effects of interferon (IFN) and growth factors in G0/G1-arrested normal bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) which were stimulated by serum, or purified platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), supplemented with plasma-derived serum (PDS). The growth response, measured as [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA, was dependent on the concentration of the mitogen. Human IFN alpha, recombinant human IFN alpha 2, or a crude bovine-IFN preparation prepared from virus-infected bovine aortic endothelial cells, inhibited SMC growth induced by either serum or PDGF with PDS. The extent of IFN inhibition was inversely related to the concentration of the mitogenic stimulus. We also investigated whether IFN inhibited the early events in G1 phase, stimulated by the competence factor PDGF, or the progression of the cell into the S phase induced by PDS. The results indicated that IFN inhibited these two stages of the G1 phase independently. In addition, we investigated the antiproliferative effect of IFN on bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC), which do not respond to PDGF but to the mitogenic activity of fibroblast growth factor (FGF). IFN inhibited the mitogenic activity of FGF in a dose-dependent manner. The results indicate that the anti-proliferative activity of IFN and the mitogenic effects of different growth factors are independent. 相似文献

alpha-Thrombin, a G-protein-coupled receptor agonist, is mitogenic for neonatal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, but it also causes secretion of the tyrosine kinase-coupled receptor agonist platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). In order to determine the role of growth factors with tyrosine kinase-coupled receptors in thrombin's mitogenic signal transduction cascade, the synergistic effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in this system was examined. While bFGF itself is a growth factor for VSM cells, it causes a 1.7-fold synergistic effect when added together with thrombin. Herbimycin A, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, both decreases thrombin-induced mitogenesis by greater than 90% and abolishes tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma-1. The magnitude and time course of the increase in intracellular free calcium concentration in response to thrombin is comparable in both the presence and absence of herbimycin A. These results provide evidence that herbimycin A specifically inhibits PLC-gamma-1 tyrosine phosphorylation without affecting VSM cell viability or calcium release. Furthermore, tyrosine phosphorylation is a necessary step in thrombin's mitogenic signal transduction cascade, but it is not essential for thrombin-induced release of calcium from intracellular stores. These data suggest that a tyrosine kinase, possibly supplied by the bFGF receptor, plays an essential role in thrombin-induced mitogenesis. 相似文献

The E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 binds to and activates the endogenous platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta receptor in fibroblasts, resulting in cell transformation. We have developed a functional assay to test the ability of PDGF beta receptor mutants to mediate a mitogenic signal initiated by the E5 protein. Lymphoid Ba/F3 cells are strictly dependent on interleukin-3 for growth, but coexpression of the wild-type PDGF beta receptor and the E5 or v-sis-encoded protein generated a mitogenic signal which allowed Ba/F3-derived cells to proliferate in the absence of interleukin-3. In these cells, the E5 protein bound to and caused increased tyrosine phosphorylation of both the mature and the precursor forms of the wild-type PDGF beta receptor. The tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor was necessary for E5-induced receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and mitogenic activity but not for complex formation with the E5 protein. In contrast, the PDGF-binding domain of the receptor was not required for complex formation with the E5 protein, E5-induced tyrosine phosphorylation or mitogenic activity, demonstrating that E5-mediated receptor activation is ligand independent. Analysis of receptor mutants lacking various combinations of tyrosine phosphorylation sites revealed that the E5 and v-sis-encoded proteins display similar requirements for signaling and suggested that the wild-type PDGF beta receptor can generate multiple independent mitogenic signals. Importantly, these mutants dissociated two activities of the PDGF beta receptor tyrosine kinase, both of which are required for sustained mitogenic signaling: (i) receptor autophosphorylation and creation of binding sites for SH2 domain-containing proteins and (ii) phosphorylation of substrates other than the receptor itself. 相似文献

Sphingosine-1-phosphate, a sphingolipid metabolite, is involved in the mitogenic response of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and is formed by activation of sphingosine kinase. We examined the effect of PDGF on sphingosine kinase activation in TRMP cells expressing wild-type or various mutant betaPDGF receptors. Sphingosine kinase was stimulated by PDGF in cells expressing wild-type receptors but not in cells expressing kinase-inactive receptors (R634). Cells expressing mutated PDGF receptors with phenylalanine substitutions at five major tyrosine phosphorylation sites 740/751/771/1009/1021 (F5 mutants), which are unable to associate with PLCgamma, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Ras GTPase-activating protein, or protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2, not only failed to increase DNA synthesis in response to PDGF but also did not activate sphingosine kinase. Moreover, mutation of tyrosine-1021 of the PDGF receptor to phenylalanine, which impairs its association with PLCgamma, abrogated PDGF-induced activation of sphingosine kinase. In contrast, PDGF was still able to stimulate sphingosine kinase in cells expressing the PDGF receptor mutated at tyrosines 740/751 and 1009, responsible for binding of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and SHP-2, respectively. In agreement, PDGF did not stimulate sphingosine kinase activity in F5 receptor 'add-back' mutants in which association with the Ras GTPase-activating protein, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, or SHP-2 was individually restored. However, a mutant PDGF receptor that was able to bind PLCgamma (tyrosine-1021), but not other signaling proteins, restored sphingosine kinase sensitivity to PDGF. These data indicate that the tyrosine residue responsible for binding of PLCgamma is required for PDGF-induced activation of sphingosine kinase. Moreover, calcium mobilization downstream of PLCgamma, but not protein kinase C activation, appears to be required for stimulation of sphingosine kinase by PDGF.-Olivera, A., Edsall, J., Poulton, S., Kazlauskas, A., Spiegel, S. Platelet-derived growth factor-induced activation of sphingosine kinase requires phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor tyrosine residue responsible for binding of PLCgamma. 相似文献

Quiescent mouse NIH3T3 cells expressing a transduced human c-fms gene encoding the receptor for colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) were stimulated with mitogenic concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or CSF-1. Immunoprecipitated phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) was phosphorylated on tyrosine and calcium was mobilized following treatment of intact cells with PDGF. In contrast, only trace amounts of phosphotyrosine were incorporated into PLC-gamma and no intracellular calcium signal was detected after CSF-1 stimulation. Similarly, CSF-1 treatment did not stimulate phosphorylation of PLC-gamma on tyrosine in a CSF-1-dependent. SV40-immortalized mouse macrophage cell line that expresses high levels of the CSF-1 receptor. In fibroblasts, antiserum to PLC-gamma co-precipitated a fraction of the tyrosine phosphorylated form of the PDGF receptor (PDGF-R) after ligand stimulation, implying that phosphorylated PDGF-R and PLC-gamma were associated in a stable complex. Pre-treatment of cells with orthovanadate also led to tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma which was significantly enhanced by PDGF, but not by CSF-1. Thus, although the PDGF and CSF-1 receptors are structurally related and appear to be derived from a single ancestor gene, only PDGF-induced mitogenesis in fibroblasts correlated with tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma. 相似文献

PDGF beta-receptor stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of GAP and association of GAP with a signaling complex 总被引:115,自引:0,他引:115
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of the GTPase activating protein (GAP) in 3T3 cells and in CHO cells expressing wild-type PDGF receptors, but not in several CHO cell lines expressing mutant receptors defective in transmitting mitogenic signals. Following PDGF treatment of cells, GAP physically associated with the PDGF receptor and with Raf-1, phospholipase c-gamma, and PI-3 kinase, suggesting that PDGF induced the formation of complexes of signaling molecules. The association of GAP with the PDGF receptor and the phosphorylation of GAP with the PDGF receptor and the phosphorylation of GAP were reconstituted in vitro using purified protein and in insect cells expressing murine PDGF receptor and human GAP. However, in cells transformed by activated c-Ha-ras, which are defective in certain responses to PDGF, GAP failed to associate with the PDGF receptor or increase its phosphotyrosine content in response to PDGF. The association of GAP with ligand-activated PDGF receptors may directly link PDGF and ras signaling pathways. 相似文献

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), potent modulators of mesenchymal cell growth and differentiation, are often colocalizable in vivo. Previous in vitro studies in fibroblastic cell lines have shown variable, even antagonistic effects of TGF-beta on the mitogenic action of PDGF. This study demonstrates that in diploid human dermal fibroblasts, TGF-beta 1 is weakly mitogenic in the absence of serum or purified growth factors, and that TGF-beta 1 potentiates DNA synthesis in PDGF-stimulated fibroblasts with delayed kinetics when compared to stimulation with PDGF alone. TGF-beta 1 enhances mitogenic potency of all three PDGF isoforms and increases receptor binding of both 125I PDGF-AA and 125I PDGF-BB, consistent with the increased expression of the alpha type PDGF receptor. The induction of PDGF alpha receptor subunits by TGF-beta may play a role in enhancing the proliferative potential of human fibroblasts in certain physiologic and pathologic conditions. 相似文献

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates the proliferation of quiescent fibroblasts through a series of events initiated by activation of tyrosine kinase activity of the PDGF receptor at the cell surface. Physiologically significant substrates for this or other growth factor receptor or oncogene tyrosine kinases have been difficult to identify. Phospholipase C (PLC), a key enzyme of the phosphoinositide pathway, is believed to be an important site for hormonal regulation of the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, which produces the intracellular second-messenger molecules inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol. Treatment of BALB/c 3T3 cells with PDGF led to a rapid (within 1 min) and significant (greater than 50-fold) increase in PLC activity, as detected in eluates of proteins from a phosphotyrosine immunoaffinity matrix. This PDGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine-immunopurified PLC activity occurred for up to 12 h after addition of growth factor to quiescent cells. Interestingly, the PDGF stimulation occurred at 3 as well as 37 degrees C and in the absence or presence of extracellular Ca2+. Immunoprecipitation of cellular proteins with monoclonal antibodies specific for three distinct cytosolic PLC isozymes demonstrated the presence of a 145-kilodalton isozyme, PLC-gamma (formerly PLC-II), in BALB/c 3T3 cells. Furthermore, these immunoprecipitation studies showed that PLC-gamma is rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine residues after PDGF stimulation. The results suggest that mitogenic signaling by PDGF is coincident with tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma. 相似文献

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is characterized by the formation of neurofibromas, benign tumors of the peripheral nerve consisting essentially of Schwann cells, which can sometimes turn malignant to form neurofibrosarcomas. The mechanism of progression toward a malignant phenotype remains largely unknown. In this report, we show that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB, and to a lesser extent fibroblast growth factor 2, are mitogenic for two neurofibrosarcoma-derived Schwann cell lines, but not for a Schwann cell line derived from a schwannoma (from a non-NF1 patient) or for transformed rat Schwann cells. Levels of expression of both PDGF receptor α and β are significantly increased in the two neurofibrosarcoma-derived cell lines compared to the non-NF1 Schwann cell lines. The level of tyrosyl-phosphorylated PDGF receptor β is strongly increased upon stimulation by PDGF BB. In comparison, only modest levels of tyrosyl-phosphorylated PDGF receptor α are observed, upon stimulation by PDGF AA or PDGF BB. Accordingly, PDGF AA is only a weak mitogen for the neurofibrosarcoma-derived cells by comparison to PDGF BB. These results indicate that the mitogenic effect of PDGF BB for the neurofibrosarcoma-derived Schwann cell lines is primarily transduced by PDGF receptor β. Neu differentiation factor β, a potent mitogen for normal Schwann cells, was unable to stimulate proliferation of the transformed Schwann cell lines, due to a dramatic down-regulation of the erbB3 receptor. Therefore, aberrant expression of growth factor receptors by Schwann cells, such as the PDGF receptors, could represent an important step in the process leading to Schwann cell hyperplasia in NF1. J.

Platelet-derived growth factor. II. Specific binding to cultured cells 总被引:53,自引:0,他引:53
We have prepared radioiodinated purified platelet-derived growth factor (125I-PDGF) which retains full mitogenic activity. The binding of 125I-PDGF to Swiss 3T3 cells is saturable and highly competed by whole blood serum, purified unlabeled PDGF, and by material from each stage in the purification of PDGF from platelet-rich plasma. Other purified mitogens and substances tested do not compete. 125I-PDGF binding to fibroblasts, 3T3 cells, and arterial smooth muscle cells shows an apparent dissociation constant of 10(-11) M, comparable to the range in which PDGF is mitogenic. A clone of Swiss 3T3 cells obtained from a population selected repeatedly against mitogenic response to PDGF shows a greatly reduced mitogenic response to PDGF and binds only 5% as much 125I-PDGF/cell. The binding capacity of the different cell types tested ranges from 2,500 binding sites/cell on the poorly responding variant to 390,000 binding sites/cell on one strain of Swiss 3T3 cells. Cell types that do not respond to PDGF do not show specific high affinity binding of 125I-PDGF. At 4 degrees C, 125I-PDGF binding to monolayer cultures is relatively slow. Equilibrium binding of low concentrations of 125I-PDGF is not achieved during 7 h unless the binding medium is constantly mixed. 125I-PDGF binding at 4 degrees C shows a broad pH optimum between 6.3 and 8.0. Binding does not seem to require Ca2+ or Mg2+ but is reduced more than 6-fold if both monovalent and divalent salts are omitted. The initial rate of 125I-PDGF binding is greater at 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C but cell-associated 125I begins to decline soon after reaching a peak value at 30-60 min. Coincident with this decline, trichloroacetic acid-soluble 125I appears in the medium and the binding capacity of the cells declines. These phenomena suggest that PDGF and its receptor may be internalized and degraded. 相似文献

A glioma-derived PDGF A chain homodimer has different functional activities from a PDGF AB heterodimer purified from human platelets 总被引:37,自引:0,他引:37

Glioma-derived growth factor I (GDGF-I) is structurally similar to a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A chain homodimer, whereas PDGF purified from human platelets is a heterodimer of one A and one B chain. Binding experiments revealed that GDGF-I and PDGF bound to a common receptor on human fibroblasts, but also suggested the presence of a second receptor type recognizing only PDGF. In contrast to PDGF, GDGF-I had only a limited mitogenic activity, a low ability to stimulate receptor autophosphorylation and actin reorganization, and no chemotactic activity. GDGF-I did, however, cause transmodulation of EGF receptors, suggesting that it, like PDGF, activates protein kinase C in fibroblasts. These data indicate that different PDGF-like growth factors have different functional activities, which are possibly mediated via different receptors. 相似文献

Cellular behavior can be considered to be the result of a very complex spatial and temporal integration of intracellular and extracellular signals. These signals arise from serum-soluble factors as well as from cell-substrate or cell-cell interactions. The current approach in mitogenesis studies is generally to analyze the effect of a single growth factor on serum-starved cells. In this context, a metabolic hormone such as insulin is found to be a mitogenic agent in many cellular types. In the present study, we have considered the effect of insulin stimulation in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-activated NIH-3T3 and C2C12 cells. Our results show that insulin is able to inhibit strongly both NIH-3T3 and C2C12 cell growth induced by PDGF, one of the most powerful mitotic agents for these cell types. This inhibitory effect of insulin is due primarily to a premature down-regulation of the PDGF receptor. Thus, when NIH-3T3 or C2C12 cells are stimulated with both PDGF and insulin, we observe a decrease in PDGF receptor phosphorylation with respect to cells treated with PDGF alone. In particular, we find that costimulation with insulin leads to a reduced production of H2O2 with respect to cell stimulation with PDGF alone. The relative low concentration of H2O2 in PDGF/insulin-costimulated cell leads to a limited down-regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatases, and, consequently, to a reduced PDGF receptor phosphorylation efficiency. The latter is very likely to be responsible for the insulin-dependent inhibition of PDGF-receptor mitogenic signaling. 相似文献

Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) undergo activation toward myofibroblast-like cells during early stages of liver injury associated with fibrogenesis. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), particularly its BB isoform, has been identified as the most potent mitogen for HSC. 4-Hydroxy-2,3-nonenal and related 4-hydroxy-2, 3-alkenals (HAKs) have been suggested to modulate the process of HSC activation. In this study we investigated the relationship between HAKs and PDGF receptor activation in human HSC. By employing noncytotoxic concentrations (10(-6) m) of HAKs, we observed a significant inhibition of PDGF-BB-dependent DNA synthesis. HAKs inhibited relevant pathways of PDGF-BB-dependent mitogenic signaling, including autophosphorylation of PDGF receptor (PDGF-R) beta subunits and activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and extracellular regulated kinases 1/2. Inhibition of DNA synthesis was reversible, and recovery of PDGF-mediated mitogenic signaling occurred within 24-48 h and was associated with HAKs-induced up-regulation of PDGF-R beta gene expression. 4-Hydroxy-2,3-nonenal, used as a model HAK, inhibited the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity associated with the PDGF-R beta subunit, whereas binding of PDGF to its receptor was unaffected. This study identifies a novel regulatory mechanism of reactive aldehydes on PDGF receptor signaling and biologic actions, which may be relevant in several pathophysiological conditions, including liver fibrosis. 相似文献

Mitogenic action of tumor necrosis factor in human fibroblasts: interaction with epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have previously shown that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can increase the number of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors on human FS-4 fibroblasts and that this increase may be related to the mitogenic action of TNF in these cells. Here we show that TNF stimulated the growth of FS-4 fibroblasts in a chemically defined, serum-free medium in the absence of EGF. Anti-EGF receptor antibody, which blocked the mitogenic effects of EGF in FS-4 cells, did not inhibit the mitogenic action of TNF in serum-free or serum-containing medium, indicating that EGF or an EGF-like molecule was not responsible for the mitogenic effects of TNF. However, the simultaneous addition of TNF and EGF to cells grown in serum-free medium resulted in a synergistic stimulation of DNA synthesis and cell growth. The actions of TNF and EGF were also examined in growth-arrested FS-4 cells and were compared with the action of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). In the absence of other growth factors, TNF was a relatively weak mitogen in growth-arrested cells, compared with EGF or PDGF. Nevertheless, TNF synergized with EGF or high doses of PDGF in stimulating DNA synthesis. Furthermore, antibodies specific for TNF or the EGF receptor were used to selectively inhibit the actions of these two factors, after specific incubation periods, in growth-arrested cells treated concurrently with EGF and TNF. To produce an optimal stimulation of DNA synthesis, EGF had to be present for a longer period of time than TNF. We conclude that in their synergistic action on growth-arrested FS-4 cells, EGF was responsible for driving the majority of the cells into S phase, while TNF appeared to make the cells more responsive to the mitogenic action of EGF. The findings indicate that TNF can cooperate with, and enhance the actions of, EGF in promoting DNA synthesis and cell division. 相似文献
