✦ Synopsis

The effects of src oncogene expression on epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors have been investigated in mouse 3T3 and rat-1 fibroblasts. Transformation of both cell types with src resulted in marked reductions in cellular EGF receptor levels, as assayed by either 125I-EGF binding or immunoprecipitation of receptor protein from radiolabeled cell lysates. In contrast to cells transformed by other types of retroviral oncogenes, the loss of EGF receptors in the src-transformed cells did not appear to be due to secreted transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), since such factors were undetectable in culture fluids from the src-transformed cells. By several criteria of transformation, an EGF-receptorless cell line infected with src was shown to be transformed, suggesting that EGF receptors themselves are not obligatory to the src transformation process. We suggest that pp60src down-modulates EGF receptors by an intracellular mechanism and that the loss of the receptors is symptomatic of more general effects of pp60src on the machinery of growth regulation.

A number of studies suggest that an inverse correlation exists between the epidermal growth factor-receptor and the estrogen receptor expression in primary human breast carcinoma as well as in established human breast carcinoma cell lines. Recent studies suggest that the epidermal growth factor-rece
