Epidermal‐Growth‐Factor‐Dependent Activation of the Src‐Family Kinases

Abstract: The precise role of src-type kinases as signal transducers has been under intensive investigation but only in a few instances has their role been revealed in any detail. Thus, src, fyn and yes are activated upon stimulation by platelet-derived growth factor or colony-stimulating factor in cells expressing high levels of these receptors. Activation of src-family kinases by other receptor tyrosine kinases such as the epidermal-growth-factor (EGF) receptor has not been directly demonstrated. In this report, we de… Show more

“…The expected observation that HPAF cells express binding sites for EGF and GRP is in agreement with the results of previous studies using other cell lines (Korc, 1991;Wang et al, 1996 Surprisingly, inhibiting the function of the EGF-receptor with an EGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG1478 (Osherov and Levitzki, 1994) but not a GRP receptor antagonist (RC3950-II) or an IGF-I receptor blocking antibody (αIR3) inhibited the proliferation of HPAF cells cultured continuously in serum free medium. AG1478 had no effect on IGF-1-stimulated proliferation in HPAF or PANC-1 cells; a further indication of the specificity of this agent for the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase (unpublished observations).…”

“…The specific EGFR-blocking tyrphostins, AG 1478 and AG 1517, were kindly provided by Drs Gazit and Levitzki (Jerusalem, Israel), (Fry et al, 1994;Osherov and Levitzki, 1994;Levitzki and Gazit, 1995). They were dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO); for application in cell culture, the final DMSO concentration in the assays was < 0.…”

“…The relatively low potency of exogenously added EGF might be due to the constitutive presence of endogenous TGFa, which is known to be expressed in H125 cells (Soderdahl et al, 1988). In order to test whether an autocrine pathway involving the EGFR contributes to the growth of these cells, the effect of a recently discovered highly specific EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, designated AG 1478 (Osherov and Levitzki, 1994;Levitzki and Gazit, 1995), was tested. H125 cells were cultured in the absence or presence of AG1478.…”

“…Thus, although mutated S K (v-src) has been demonstrated as an oncoprotein (pp60'-'" in chicken) its cellular homolog, the proto-oncoprotein pp60" transmits oncogenic signals of many receptors. Overexpression of EGFR or Her-2 in tumors leads to the constitutive activation of pp60'-"" (Lutrell et al, 1994;Osherov and Levitzki, 1994), where association between the RTK and c-Src may actually occur (Lutrell et al, 1994). Another possibility is that the Her-2 or EGFR to c-Src connection is mediated by the activation of a protein tyrosine phosphatase which removes the inhibitory phosphate from 51-527 (Osherov, 1994).…”
