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 …

Vitamin D, ADAM-12 and Carotid Artery Disease
… TNF-α and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family growth factors are released at the site of atherosclerosis and boost the activity of proteolytic enzymes such as ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases). ADAM-12 cleaves proHB-EGF (Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor) activating …

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 …

Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus der liganden-vermittelten Transaktivierung des epidermalen Wachstumsfaktor Rezeptors
Der epidermale Wachstumsfaktor Rezeptor (EGFR) wird nach Stimulation von G-Protein gekoppelten Rezeptoren (GPCR) tyrosinphosphoryliert, sog. Transaktivierung, und trägt zur mitogenen Signalübertragung verschiedenster GPCR in normalen als auch in humanen Krebszellen bei. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit …

Stanovení biologické aktivity rekombinantního proteinu adiponektinu pomocí buněčné kultury
… stimulace růstu buněk pomocí růstových faktorů HB-EGF, PDGF-BB a bFGF v různých koncentracích. Biologická aktivita adiponektinu poté byla stanovena jako inhibice stimulace růstu s 5 ng/ml PDGF-BB. Test biologické aktivity adiponektinu byl také proveden s lyofilizovaným adiponektinem a růstovým …

The role of heparin and heparin-binding growth factors in pre-eclampsia
… expression of heparin-binding growth factors (HBGFs) in normal placental development was altered in a specific pregnancy disorder preeclampsia. HBGFs bind to heparin, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) affecting activity. I investigated the role of heparin and HBGFs in pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia. …

Characterisation of the molecular mechanisms of EGFR signal transactivation in human cancer
… metalloprotease-dependent transactivation of the EGFR, and EGFR characteristic downstream signalling events were observed in response to stimulation with physiological concentrations of GPCR agonists such as the mitogens LPA and S1P as well as therapeutically relevant concentrations of …

Optimizing chondrogenic factors and protein delivery methods for cartilage repair
… the effects of Dexamethasone (Dex) and HB-IGF- I (heparin-binding insulin-like growth factor-1) on cells encapsulated in the self-assembling peptide RAD and agarose hydrogels. Dex is a synthetic corticosteroid that has been shown to improve cartilage-like tissue production by bone marrow …
