Antibodies to epidermal-growth-factor receptor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-a (TGVa) were used to determine the role of endogenous TGF-a in the growth of 2 human colon-carcinoma cell lines. Both the GEO and HCT I 16 coloncarcinoma cell lines secrete similar levels of TGF-a and have similar n

## Abstract Human colon cancer cells produce and secrete a variety of polypeptide growth factors. The functional role of these growth factors, however, is poorly understood. Though the secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐like activity and EGF‐related molecules by human colon cancer cells in
The human colon cancer cell lines HCT I I 6 (poorly differentiated) and GEO (well differentiated) express the mitogenic peptide transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-a). The secretion of TGF-awas enhanced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), indicating the possible role of protein kinase C (PKC
Transforming growth factor-␣ (TGF-␣) is synthesized as a membrane-bound precursor protein, pro-TGF-␣, that is converted to a soluble form by 2 endoproteolytic cleavages. Several factors have been implicated in the regulation of the second rate-limiting step, including protein kinase C (PKC). Earlier
