Abstract

Swiss 3T3 and C3H‐M2 cells have a greater mitogenic response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) than do C3H‐10T1/2 cells. The latter cell line, however, has a number of EGF receptors per cell intermediate between the two cell lines that have a more vigorous response to EGF. Scatchard analysis of binding data indicate that all three cell lines have one class of EGF receptor, with indistinguishable affinity for the ligand. When exposed to 10‐nM EGF all three cell lines “down‐regulate” their EGF receptors with the same time course, and to the same precentage of initial receptors.

Response to transforming growth factor α (TGFα) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in hepatocytes: Lower EGF receptor affinity of TGFα is associated with more sustained activation of p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase and greater efficacy in stimulation of DNA synthesis

The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mediates the effects of both EGF and transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha). Recent data suggested that EGF acts as a partial agonist/antagonist in hepatocytes, TGFalpha exerting a larger maximal stimulation of DNA synthesis than EGF. To further study
