## Abstract In order to ascertain autocrine growth factors in esophageal carcinomas, we analysed expression of mRNAs and proteins for epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factorβΞ± (TGFβΞ±) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in 6 esophageal carcinoma cell lines. Gene alteration
Human A431 carcinoma cell line is known to have 30 fold amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) gene. We have studied the effect of steroid hormone dexamethasone (DEX) and protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) on the expression of EGF-R gene in this cell line. DEX treatment and
