Most squamous epithelial cells are strictly anchorage-dependent cell types. We observed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) promoted the growth of A431 squamous carcinoma cells in suspension cultures but suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis in monolayer cultures, suggesting that loss of adhes

Aberrant expression or activity of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of tyrosine kinases has been associated with tumor progression and an invasive phenotype. In this study, we utilized 4 ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCA 432, DOV 13, OVEA6 and OVCA 429, to determine the effects of EGF
The expression of the proto-oncogenes c-fo3 and c-niyc is a rapid response of Go-arrested fibroblasts to serum and peptide growth factors; however, the role of the c-fos and c-myc gene products in subsequent cell cycle transit is not understood. We examined the expression of c-fos and c-myc mKNA in
Growth hormone (GH) has previously been reported to influence the adipose conversion of 3T3-F442A murine fibroblasts, partly by causing these cells to exit the cell cycle and to become unresponsive to serum-stimulated mitogenesis. To better understand this process, quiescent fibroblasts were treated
## Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a mitogen for Swiss 3T3 cells. Short incubation periods with physiological concentrations of EGF induced increased binding of Swiss 3T3 cells to Con Aβcoated nylon fibers. This effect was not induced in an EGF nonβresponsive 3T3 variant, in the transform
Previous studies have reported that the proliferation of A431 cells, a human squamous cell carcinoma cell line, was stimulated by picomolar epidermal growth factor (EGF) but inhibited by nanomolar EGF. This biphasic dose-response phenomenon is not observed in normal human epithelial cells where nano
