Abstract: | Binding of 125I-labelled epidermal growth factor (EGF) to C3H/2K cells and the effect of a tumor promotor, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and of a tumor promotor antagonist, retinoic acid, on the binding was studied. Scatchard plot analysis of the binding showed the presence of two type of binding sites with different affinity to EGF. Treatment of the cells with retinoic acid for 1 h resulted in elevation of the affinity of both sites without changing their number per cell. Prolonged exposure to retinoic acid abrogated this elevation of the affinity and caused cycloheximide-sensitive increase of the number of the binding sites of both types. TPA inhibited binding of EGF to the cells by abolishing the binding to the high affinity sites, whereas retinoic acid, in the presence of TPA, enhanced it by increasing the number of the low affinity sites. |
