✦ Synopsis


To elucidate the relationship between epidermal growth factor (EGF)/transforming growth factor (TGF-a) and estradiol-17p (E) in cell proliferation, we examined their effects on the breast cancer cell line, CAMA-1. While E was able to consistently induce cell proliferation under a variety of experimental conditions, EGF/TGF-a was without effect. Despite the presence of the receptor (EGFR) gene, mature EGFR protein and mRNA were not detected by radioreceptor assay, 35S Met-labelling, and the lntron Differential RNNPCR method under conditions in which cells remain responsive to E. Furthermore, TGF-a is not an autocrine factor in CAMA-1 cells. We demonstrated unequivocally that EGFDGF-a interaction with EGFR is not an obligatory event in mediating estrogen-stimulated cell proliferation.

In many cancer cell lines, including breast, prostate, lung, brain, head and neck, retina, and the gastrointestinal tract, opioids decrease cell proliferation in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. Opioid and/or other neuropeptide receptors mediate this decrease. We report that only the steroid-

The human leukemic cell line AML-193 was tested for its proliferative response to endogenously produced autocrine factors and to a variety of cytokines and colony-stimulating factors. Cells grown in the absence of GM-CSF incorporated tritiated thymidine, and this was partially reversed by adding neu
