Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFโฃ) is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligand which is distinguished from EGF by its acid-labile structure and potent transforming function. We recently reported that TGFโฃ induces less efficient EGFR heterodimerization and downregulation than does EGF (
We have investigated the actions of transforming growth factor (TGF) type a on epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor mRNA expression in MDA-468 human mammary carcinoma cells in serum-free media. We found that exposure of MDA-468 cells to TGFa results in elevated levels of EGF receptor mRNA. This in
Prolactin (PRL) is a potent mitogen in cultured astrocytes. Because one of the major effects of astrocyte proliferation is the expression of inflammatory cytokines, we examined the effect of PRL-induced mitogenesis on the expression of interleukin-1 (IL-I a), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), and tra
