Drug-encapsulating EGF-sensitive liposomes for EGF-overexpressing cancer therapies
… in the treatment of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-overexpressing cancers due to the potential advantages, relative to current clinical therapies (generally limited to surgery, radiation therapy, traditional chemotherapy, and EGF receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs)), of using such 'smart' targeted …

Quantitative cue-signal-response analysis of EGF-induced cell migration
… the phenomenological structure of CHO-EGFR cell paths using turn angle distribution and time series analyses. Increased local cell speed correlated with increased likelihood of local directional persistence, a result independent of biochemical modulation of overall cell motility. …

Localized HB-EGF signaling and Connexin43 decrease in the myocardium
… transactivation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF). Here it is shown that HB-EGF operates in a spatially restricted local circuit in the extracellular space within the myocardium, revealing the critical nature of the local microenvironment in …

Role of the interaction of proHB-EGF with heparan sulfate proteoglycans
… epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) exhibits activity as a juxtacrine, paracrine, and autocrine ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and possesses the ability to bind heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). The interaction of HB-EGF with HSPGs has been …

Structural Determinants in the folding of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-Like domains
The epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain is an evolutionarily conserved modular protein subunit. Despite hypervariability of amino acid sequences in their inter-cysteine region, they preferentially fold into a three-looped conformation with a disulfide pairing of C₁-C₃, C₂-C₄, C₅-C₆. To …

The 5' inositol phosphatase SHIP2 regulates EGF-elicited protrusion in MTLn3 cells
… in membrane protrusion upon stimulation with EGF, and that recruitment of Mena to the leading edge is enhanced, implying that this increase in protrusion may be due to a change in Mena localization.

Amphiregulin (areg) And Epidermal Growth Factor (egf): Disparate In Egfr Signaling And Trafficking
… human breast cancer cells require an AREG/EGFR autocrine loop for cell proliferation. We also demonstrated that AREG can increase EGFR stability and promote EGFR localization to the plasma membrane. In the presented dissertation we successfully knocked-down AREG expression in SUM-149 cells …

EGF receptor-mediated fibroblast signaling and motility : role of nanoscale spatial ligand organization
Cell motility is often governed by growth factor receptor and integrin adhesion receptor interactions with the extracellular environment followed by collaborative intracellular signaling. While integrin ligands are necessarily bound within the extracellular matrix to permit force transduction by …

Breast Cancer Cells Acquire a Stem-Like Phenotype by TGFß1/EGF Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
… factor (TGF)-ß and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) induces EMT and allows cancer cells to become more stem-like. We have shown that TGF-ß1 alone can partly increase expression of EMT-related transcription factors in BT-20 and MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, EGF alone can induce a stem cell-like …

Charakterisierung von Schlüsselproteinen der Signaltransduktion (EGF-R, c-erbB2, Hsp90) in humanen Tumorxenografts mittels Gewebemikroarray
… <br>Schlüsselproteine der Signaltransduktion (EGF-R, c-erbB2, Hsp90) wurden in dieser Arbeit untersucht. Überexpression dieser Proteine in Tumoren geht mit schlechter Prognose für die Patienten einher. EGF-R und c-erbB2 sind deshalb interessante Targets für neue molekulare Tumortherapien. …

EGF module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor 2 and its role in human immune privilege
… of Epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane (EGF-TM7) molecules, which include the EGF module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor (EMR) molecules. In the human, EMR1 has sequential homology with F4/80 and EMR2 has shown immune suppressing function in tumor cells. Thus, we investigate the …

Quantitative analysis and modulation of the spatial operation of the EGF receptor autocrine cell signaling system
The spatial localization of EGFR autocrine systems is a critical factor for tissue development and homeostasis. It is difficult to analyze these systems, however, because they are both self-contained and recursive. To understand how cellular parameters influence autocrine activity, we investigated …

Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in hypopharyngeal cancer and Effect of EGF in Progression of hypopharyngeal cancer
"Background and Objectives: The EGFR is a member of the erbB family of receptor tyrosine kinase proteins, which also includes HER2/neu (erbB2), HER3 (erbB3), and HER4 (erbB4). High levels of EGFR expression are correlated with poor prognosis and resistance to radiation therapy in a variety of …
