Abstract
The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Src is a central component of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling pathway. Our group recently showed that the Frank-ter Haar syndrome protein Tks4 (tyrosine kinase substrate with four Src homology 3 domains) is also involved in EGF signaling. Here we demonstrate that Tks4 and Src bind directly to each other and elucidate the details of the molecular mechanism of this complex formation. Results of GST pull-down and fluorescence polarization assays show that both a proline-rich SH3 binding motif (PSRPLPDAP, residues 466-474) and an adjacent phosphotyrosine-containing SH2 binding motif (pYEEI, residues 508-511) in Tks4 are responsible for Src binding. These motifs interact with the SH3 and SH2 domains of Src, respectively, leading to a synergistic enhancement of binding strength and a highly stable, "bidentate"-type of interaction. In agreement with these results, we found that the association of Src with Tks4 is permanent and the complex lasts at least 3 h in living cells. We conclude that the interaction of Tks4 with Src may result in the long term stabilization of the kinase in its active conformation, leading to prolonged Src activity following EGF stimulation.

Abstract
Mutations in the SH3PXD2B gene coding for the Tks4 protein are responsible for the autosomal recessive Frank-ter Haar syndrome. Tks4, a substrate of Src tyrosine kinase, is implicated in the regulation of podosome formation. Here, we report a novel role for Tks4 in the EGF signaling pathway. In EGF-treated cells, Tks4 is tyrosine-phosphorylated and associated with the activated EGF receptor. This association is not direct but requires the presence of Src tyrosine kinase. In addition, treatment of cells with LY294002, an inhibitor of PI 3-kinase, or mutations of the PX domain reduces tyrosine phosphorylation and membrane translocation of Tks4. Furthermore, a PX domain mutant (R43W) Tks4 carrying a reported point mutation in a Frank-ter Haar syndrome patient showed aberrant intracellular expression and reduced phosphoinositide binding. Finally, silencing of Tks4 was shown to markedly inhibit HeLa cell migration in a Boyden chamber assay in response to EGF or serum. Our results therefore reveal a new function for Tks4 in the regulation of growth factor-dependent cell migration.

Abstract
The subcellular localization of the PDGF β-receptor was investigated in relation with PDGF-induced actin and membrane dynamics in mouse C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts. Serum-starved cells exhibit a nonhomogenous distribution of PDGF β-receptors. However, the observed pattern does not resemble the localization of PDGF-induced actin structures. Interestingly, the PDGF β-receptor showed a changed subcellular distribution in relation to the formation of PDGF-BB-induced actin structures. Upon PDGF exposure, PDGF β-receptors were found to accumulate in dorsal circular ruffles. The presence of both macropinosomes and clathrin in the induced circular ruffles suggests that the accumulation of PDGF β-receptors in circular ruffles results in the efficient internalization of PDGF β-receptors.

Abstract
Both growth factor directed and integrin dependent signal transduction were shown to take place directly after completion of mitosis. The local activation of these signal transduction cascades was investigated in early G1 cells. Interestingly, various key signal transduction proteins were found in blebs at the cell membrane within 30 min after mitosis. These membrane blebs appeared in round, mitotic-like cells and disappeared rapidly during spreading of the cells in G1 phase. In addition to tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, the blebs contained also phosphorylated FAK and phosphorylated MAP kinase. The formation of membrane blebs in round, mitotic cells before cell spreading is not specific for mitotic cells, because similar features were observed in trypsinized cells. Just before cell spreading also these cells exhibited membrane blebs containing active signal transduction proteins. Inhibition of signal transduction did not affect membrane bleb formation, suggesting that the membrane blebs were formed independent of signal transduction.

Abstract
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) is a multidomain protein that contains epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats that indirectly activate the EGF receptor (EGFR) and selected downstream signaling pathways. In these studies, we show that TSP1 opens the paracellular pathway in human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-Ls) in a dose-, time-, and protein tyrosine kinase (PTK)-dependent manner. TSP1 increased tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins enriched to intercellular boundaries including the zonula adherens (ZA) proteins, vascular endothelial-cadherin, γ-catenin, and p120 catenin. In HMVEC-Ls, EGFR and ErbB2 are expressed at low levels, and both heterodimerize and tyrosine autophosphorylate in response to TSP1. Prior EGFR-selective PTK inhibition with AG1478 or ErbB2-selective PTK inhibition with AG825 protected against TSP1-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of ZA proteins and barrier disruption. Preincubation of HMVEC-Ls with an EGFR ectodomain-blocking antibody also prevented TSP1-induced opening of the paracellular pathway. Therefore, in HMVEC-Ls, TSP1 increases tyrosine phosphorylation of ZA proteins and opens the paracellular pathway, in part, through EGFR/ErbB2 activation. Surprisingly, recombinant TSP1 EGF-like repeats 1-3 and the high-affinity EGFR ligands, EGF, TGF-α, and amphiregulin, each failed to increase paracellular permeability. However, HMVEC-Ls in which EGFR was overexpressed became responsive to the EGF-like repeats of TSP1 as well as to EGF. These studies indicate that TSP1 disrupts the endothelial barrier through EGFR/ErbB2 activation although additional signals are necessary in cells with low receptor expression.

Abstract
Cell migration during vascular remodelling is regulated by crosstalk between growth factor receptors and integrin receptors, which together coordinate cytoskeletal and motogenic changes. Here, we report extracellular matrix (ECM)-directed crosstalk between platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-β and α5β1-integrin, which controls the migration of mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs). Cell adhesion to fibronectin induced α5β1-integrin-dependent phosphorylation of PDGFR-β in the absence of growth factor stimulation. Phosphorylated PDGFR-β co-immunoprecipitated with α5-integrin and colocalised with α5β1-integrin in the transient tidemarks of focal adhesions. Adhesion to fibronectin also strongly potentiated PDGF-BB-induced PDGFR-β phosphorylation and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity, in an α5β1-integrin-dependent manner. PDGFR-β-induced phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt activity, actin reorganisation and cell migration were all regulated by fibronectin and α5β1-integrin. This synergistic relationship between α5β1-integrin and PDGFR-β is a fundamental determinant of cell migration. Thus, fibronectin-rich matrices can prime PDGFR-β to recruit mesenchymal cells at sites of vascular remodelling.

Abstract
X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) overexpression has been found to be associated with malignant cancer progression and aggression in individuals with many types of cancers. However, the molecular basis of XIAP in the regulation of cancer cell biological behavior remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that a deficiency of XIAP expression in human cancer cells by either knock-out or knockdown leads to a marked reduction in β-actin polymerization and cytoskeleton formation. Consistently, cell migration and invasion were also decreased in XIAP-deficient cells compared with parental wild-type cells. Subsequent studies demonstrated that the regulation of cell motility by XIAP depends on its interaction with the Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (RhoGDI) via the XIAP RING domain. Furthermore, XIAP was found to negatively regulate RhoGDI SUMOylation, which might affect its activity in controlling cell motility. Collectively, our studies provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms by which XIAP regulates cancer invasion and offer a further theoretical basis for setting XIAP as a potential prognostic marker and specific target for treatment of cancers with metastatic properties.

Abstract
Actin-directed processes such as membrane ruffling and cell migration are regulated by specific signal transduction pathways that become activated by growth factor receptors. The same signaling pathways that lead to modifications in actin dynamics also activate cPLA(2)alpha. Moreover, arachidonic acid, the product of cPLA(2)alpha activity, is involved in regulation of actin dynamics. Therefore, it was investigated whether cPLA(2)alpha plays a role in actin dynamics, more specifically during growth factor-induced membrane ruffling and cell migration. Upon stimulation of ruffling and cell migration by growth factors, endogenous cPLA(2)alpha and its active phosphorylated form were shown to relocate at protrusions of the cell membrane involved in actin and membrane dynamics. Inhibition of cPLA(2)alpha activity with specific inhibitors blocked growth factor-induced membrane and actin dynamics, suggesting an important role for cPLA(2)alpha in these processes.

Abstract
EGF-R [EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor] ligands can promote or inhibit cell growth. The biological outcome of receptor activation is dictated, at least in part, by ligand-specified patterns of endocytic trafficking. EGF-R trafficking downstream of the ligands EGF and TGF-alpha (transforming growth factor-alpha) has been investigated extensively. However, less is known about EGF-R fates induced by the ligands BTC (betacellulin) and AR (amphiregulin). We undertook comparative analyses to identify ligand-specific molecular events that regulate EGF-R trafficking and degradation. EGF (17 nM) and BTC (8.5 nM) induced significant EGF-R degradation, with or without ectopic expression of the ubiquitin ligase Cbl. Human recombinant AR (17 nM) failed to affect receptor degradation in either case. Notably, levels of ligand-induced EGF-R ubiquitination did not correlate strictly with receptor degradation. Dose-response experiments revealed that AR at a saturating concentration was a partial agonist at the EGF-R, with approx. 40% efficacy (relative to EGF) at inducing receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, ubiquitination and association with Cbl. EGF-R down-regulation and degradation also were compromised upon cell stimulation with AR (136 nM). These outcomes correlated with decreased degradation of the Cbl substrate and internalization inhibitor hSprouty2. Downstream of the hSprouty2 checkpoint in AR-stimulated cells, Cbl-free EGF-R was incorporated into endosomes from which Cbl-EGF-R complexes were excluded. Our results suggest that the AR-specific EGF-R fate results from decreased hSprouty2 degradation and reduced Cbl recruitment to underphosphorylated EGF-R, two effects that impair EGF-R trafficking to lysosomes.

Abstract
Cancer cells depend on chemotaxis for invasion and frequently overexpress and/or activate Src. We previously reported that v-Src accelerates motility by promoting phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) signalling but abrogates chemotaxis. We here addressed the mechanism of the loss of chemotactic response to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) gradients in fibroblasts harbouring a thermosensitive v-Src kinase. At non-permissive temperature, PDGF receptor (PDGFR) signalling, assessed by phosphoY(751)-specific antibodies (a docking site for PI3-K), was not detected without PDGF and showed a concentration-dependent PDGF response. Both immunolabeling of PI3-K (p110) and live cell imaging of its product (phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 tris-phosphate) showed PI3-K recruitment and activation at lamellipodia polarized towards a PDGF gradient. Centrosomes and PDGFR- and Src-bearing endosomes were also oriented towards this gradient. Upon v-Src thermoactivation, (i) Y(751) phosphorylation was moderately induced without PDGF and synergistically increased with PDGF; (ii) PI3-K was recruited and activated all along the plasma membrane without PDGF and did not polarize in response to a PDGF gradient; and (iii) polarization of centrosomes and of PDGFR-bearing endosomes were also abrogated. Thus, PDGF can further increase PDGFR auto-phosphorylation despite strong Src kinase activity, but diffuse downstream activation of PI3-K by Src abrogates cell polarization and chemotaxis: "signalling requires silence".

Abstract
While there is circumstantial evidence to suggest a requirement for phospholipase C-gamma(1) (PLC-gamma(1)) in actin reorganization and cell migration, few studies have examined the direct mechanisms that link regulators of the actin cytoskeleton with this crucial signaling molecule. This study was aimed to examine the role that villin, an epithelial cell-specific actin-binding protein, and its ligand PLC-gamma(1) play in migration in intestinal and renal epithelial cell lines that endogenously or ectopically express human villin. Basal as well as epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated cell migration was accompanied by tyrosine phosphorylation of villin and its association with PLC-gamma(1). Inhibition of villin phosphorylation prevented villin-PLC-gamma(1) complex formation as well as villin-induced cell migration. The absolute requirement for PLC-gamma(1) in villin-induced cell migration was demonstrated by measuring cell motility in PLC-gamma(1)(-/-) cells and by downregulation of endogenous PLC-gamma(1). EGF-stimulated direct interaction of villin with the Src homology domain 2 domain of PLC-gamma(1) at the plasma membrane was demonstrated in living cells by using fluorescence resonance energy transfer. These results demonstrate that villin provides an important link between the activation of phosphoinositide signal transduction pathway and epithelial cell migration.

Abstract
Prevention of cell spreading or disruption of actin filaments inhibits growth factor stimulated cell cycle re-entry from quiescence, mainly because of a failure to induce cyclin D expression. Ectopic cyclin D expression overrules anchorage-dependency, suggesting that cell spreading per se is not required as long as cyclin D is otherwise induced. We investigated whether cyclin D expression in cells exiting mitosis is sufficient to drive morphology-independent cell cycle progression in continuously cycling (i.e. not quiescent) cells. Disruption of post-mitotic actin reorganization did not affect substratum reattachment but abolished the formation of filopodia, lamellipodia and ruffles, as well as stress fiber organization, focal adhesion assembly and cell spreading. Furthermore, integrin-mediated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) autophosphorylation and growth factor stimulated p42/p44 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation were inhibited. Despite a progressive loss of cyclin D expression in late G1, cyclin E and cyclin A were normally induced. In addition, cells committed to DNA synthesis and completed their entire cycle. Our results demonstrate that post-mitotic disruption of the actin cytoskeleton allows cell cycle progression independent of focal adhesion signaling, cytoskeletal organization and cell shape, presumably because pre-existing cyclin D levels are sufficient to drive cell cycle progression at the M-G1 border.

Abstract
Human ganglioside-specific sialidase, NEU3, localized at cell membranes is thought to regulate various biological processes at cell surfaces. We here explored functional subcellular localization of the sialidase by immunofluorescence and found accumulation at leading edges of cell membranes in the presence of serum in culture. In response to EGF, the sialidase redistributed rapidly to ruffling cell membranes of squamous carcinoma A431 cells and co-localized with Rac-1. NEU3 overexpression enhanced Rac-1 activation and cell migration as compared with controls in HeLa cells as well as in A431 cells. Consistent with co-localization with Rac-1 by immunofluorescence, NEU3 was found to co-precipitate with activated Rac bound to GST-PAK-1 fusion protein. NEU3 silencing by siRNA, in contrast, resulted in inhibition of Rac-1 activation. These results indicate that NEU3 is able to mobilize to membrane ruffles in response to growth stimuli and activate the Rac-1 signaling by co-localization with Rac-1, leading to increased cell motility.

Abstract
InlA and InlB mediate L. monocytogenes entry into eukaryotic cells. InlA is required for the crossing of the intestinal and placental barriers. InlA uses E-cadherin as receptor in a species-specific manner. The human E-cadherin but not the mouse E-cadherin is a receptor for InlA. In human cells, InlB uses Met and gC1qR as receptors. By studying the role of InlB in vivo, we found that activation of Met by InlB is species-specific. In mice, InlB is important for liver and spleen colonization, but not for the crossing of the intestinal epithelium. Strikingly, the virulence of a DeltainlB deletion mutant is not attenuated in guinea pigs and rabbits. Guinea pig and rabbit cell lines do not respond to InlB, although expressing Met and gC1qR, but support InlB-mediated responses upon human Met gene transfection, indicating that InlB does not recognize or stimulate guinea pig and rabbit Met. In guinea pig cells, the effect of human Met gene transfection on InlB-dependent entry is increased upon cotransfection with human gc1qr gene, showing the additive roles of gC1qR and Met. These results unravel a second L. monocytogenes species specificity critical for understanding human listeriosis and emphasize the need for developing new animal models for studying InlA and InlB functions in the same animal model.

Abstract
Endothelial cells respond to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to produce new blood vessels. This process of angiogenesis makes a critical contribution during embryogenesis and also in the response to ischemia in adult tissues. We have studied the intracellular trafficking of the major VEGF receptor KDR (VEGFR2). Unlike other related growth factor receptors, we find that a significant proportion of KDR is held in an endosomal storage pool within endothelial cells. We find that KDR can be delivered to the plasma membrane from this intracellular pool and that VEGF stimulates this recycling to the cell surface. KDR recycling appears to be distinct from the previously characterized Rab4- and Rab11-dependent pathways, but, instead, KDR(+) recycling vesicles contain Src tyrosine kinase and VEGF-stimulated recycling requires Src activation. Taken together, these data show that intracellular trafficking of KDR is markedly different from other receptor tyrosine kinases and suggest that the regulation of KDR trafficking by VEGF provides a novel mechanism for controlling the sensitivity of endothelial cells to proangiogenic signals.

Abstract
Progression through the cell cycle of mammalian cells is dependent upon external factors such as growth- and ECM factors. These factors exert their effect predominantly during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. When cells are cultured in suspension or when growth factors are withdrawn from the medium, cells will stop cell cycle progression and enter a quiescent state. Cells will remain in this quiescent state until extracellular conditions change and cells are stimulated to re-enter the cell cycle. This stimulation is mediated by various signal transduction cascades such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) pathway. In Chinese hamster ovary cells at least two serum-dependent points exist during G1 phase that lead to diffent cellular responses. The first point is located immediately after mitosis and is suggested to link with apoptosis. The second point is located in late G1 phase and probably corresponds with cellular differentiation. Signal transduction is mutually related to the cytoskeleton, especially the actin microfilament system. The actin microfilament system influences signal transduction and several signal transduction pathways influence the actin structure. Here we describe the role of the MAPK and PI3-kinase activities and of actin microfilaments in progression through the cell cycle and their role in the two G1 checkpoints.

Abstract
Cell cycle progression is regulated by a wide variety of external factors, amongst them are growth factors and extracellular matrix factors. During the last decades evidence has been obtained that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may also play an important role in cell cycle progression. ROS may be generated by external and internal factors. In this overview we describe briefly the generation of ROS and their effects on processes that have been demonstrated to play an essential role in cell cycle progression, including such systems as signal transduction cascades, protein ubiquitination and degradation, and the cytoskeleton. These different effects of ROS influence cell cycle progression dependent upon the amount and duration of ROS exposure. Activation of growth factor stimulated signaling cascades by low levels of ROS result in increased cell cycle progression, or, in case of prolonged exposure, to a differentiation like growth arrest. From many studies it seems clear that the cyclin kinase inhibitor protein p21 plays a prominent role, leading to cell cycle arrest at higher but not directly lethal levels of ROS. Dependent upon the nature of p21 induction, the cell cycle arrest may be transient, coupled to repair processes, or permanent. At high concentrations of ROS all of the above processes are activated, in combination with enhanced damage to the building blocks of the cell, leading to apoptosis or even necrosis.

Abstract
Maternal infection of Trypanosoma cruzi is associated with premature births, abortions and placentitis. A decrease in EGF levels has been suggested to occur in animals infected by T. cruzi, but there is no research about the levels of EGF in human patients with Chagas' disease. We evaluated serum EGF levels in pregnant women with and without the disease, and with immunological methods detected EGF receptors and EGF in both groups of placentae and in cultures of normal placental villi with and without parasites. PLAP in placentae from those women was also immunologically detected, since EGF can induce the release of PLAP from the trophoblast surface and PLAP is suggested to be a receptor allowing parasite invasion of the placenta. Plasma from women with Chagas' disease contained lower level of EGF when compared to plasma of healthy women. Placentae from women with Chagas' disease showed lower PLAP expression but same level of detectable EGF receptors and EGF when compared with placentae from women without the disease. Culture with parasites did not reduce EGFr level. Results suggest a lower availability of EGF in women with Chagas' disease, which could explain several malfunctions of the placenta associated with maternal Chagas' disease.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is known to bind to the F-actin cytoskeleton in intact cells, and this interaction has been suggested to sequester the EGFR signal transduction system to specific loci within the cell. In this study, the interaction of the EGFR with actin is examined in a reconstituted cell free system. Soluble protein components of the cytosol from A431 cells are shown to dramatically enhance binding of the EGFR to F-actin in a saturable, concentration-dependent fashion. Most of the intracellular C-terminal portion of the EGFR is found to be required for this interaction. Binding of the EGFR to F-actin strongly deactivates the receptor by diminishing EGFR autophosphorylation activity and enhancing tyrosine phosphatase activity toward the EGFR. These results suggest that a ternary or larger protein signaling complex forms on an F-actin cellular scaffold, providing a spatially restricted signal modulation site that can be regulated by cytoskeletal remodeling.

Abstract
A thiol-reactive membrane-associated protein (TRAP) binds covalently to the cytoplasmic domain of the human insulin receptor (IR) β-subunit when cells are treated with the homobifunctional cross-linker reagent 1,6-bismaleimidohexane. Here, TRAP was found to be phospholipase C γ1 (PLCγ1) by mass spectrometry analysis. PLCγ1 associated with the IR both in cultured cell lines and in a primary culture of rat hepatocytes. Insulin increased PLCγ1 tyrosine phosphorylation at Tyr-783 and its colocalization with the IR in punctated structures enriched in cortical actin at the dorsal plasma membrane. This association was found to be independent of PLCγ1 Src homology 2 domains, and instead required the pleckstrin homology (PH)–EF-hand domain. Expression of the PH–EF construct blocked endogenous PLCγ1 binding to the IR and inhibited insulin-dependent phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but not AKT. Silencing PLCγ1 expression using small interfering RNA markedly reduced insulin-dependent MAPK regulation in HepG2 cells. Conversely, reconstitution of PLCγ1 in PLCγ1−/− fibroblasts improved MAPK activation by insulin. Our results show that PLCγ1 is a thiol-reactive protein whose association with the IR could contribute to the activation of MAPK signaling by insulin.

Abstract
Cell motility is actuated by a host of intracellular signaling cascades that result in movement of the cell in one direction, even without an external gradient. Phospholipase C-gamma (PLCgamma) has been shown to be important for growth factor-induced lamellipodial protrusion at the front of the cell while Cdc42 has been implicated in both filopodium formation at the leading edge and control of polarity of migrating cells. We asked whether these asymmetries in effector molecules may be linked. When we overexpressed either constitutively active, dominant negative, or GFP-tagged Cdc42, wild-type NR6 fibroblasts lost directionality, as expected. On epidermal growth factor (EGF) exposure these cells produced multiple, transient protrusions in every direction; these extensions failed to result in productive motility. GFP-tagged Cdc42 appeared transiently at edges of newly formed protrusions in EGF-stimulated cells while they moved haphazardly. While PLCgamma is distributed throughout the cell, the ratio of active, tyrosyl-phosphorylated PLCgamma was increased at the leading edge, where phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) hydrolysis is concentrated. This co-localization of activities may be due to Cdc42 directing PLCgamma to the cell front, as PLCgamma associated with Cdc42 in an EGF-dependent manner. We conclude that Cdc42 controls cell polarity, likely in part, through its binding to active PLCgamma.

Abstract
The c-Abl tyrosine (Tyr) kinase is activated after platelet-derived-growth factor receptor (PDGFR) stimulation in a manner that is partially dependent on Src kinase activity. However, the activity of Src kinases alone is not sufficient for activation of c-Abl by PDGFR. Here we show that functional phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) is required for c-Abl activation by PDGFR. Decreasing cellular levels of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) by PLC-gamma1-mediated hydrolysis or dephosphorylation by an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (Inp54) results in increased Abl kinase activity. c-Abl functions downstream of PLC-gamma1, as expression of kinase-inactive c-Abl blocks PLC-gamma1-induced chemotaxis towards PDGF-BB. PLC-gamma1 and c-Abl form a complex in cells that is enhanced by PDGF stimulation. After activation, c-Abl phosphorylates PLC-gamma1 and negatively modulates its function in vivo. These findings uncover a newly discovered functional interdependence between non-receptor Tyr kinase and lipid signalling pathways.

Abstract
We have recently shown that epidermal growth factor (EGF) strongly stimulates expansion of porcine oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCCs) isolated from large follicles (>6 mm) and does not promote expansion of OCCs from small (3-4-mm) follicles. In order to elucidate the role of EGF in OCCs expansion, in the present study, we first examined the presence of EGF receptors (EGFRs) in cumulus cells isolated from follicles of different sizes. Surprisingly, immunoblotting showed that cumulus cells obtained from all follicular size categories contained similar amounts of EGFR protein. On the other hand, we found a dramatic difference in the pattern of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in a comparison of cumulus cells isolated from small and large follicles treated by EGF. Furthermore, tyrosine-phosphorylated EGFR was specifically immunoprecipitated with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies from EGF-treated cumulus cells isolated from the large follicles. This result strongly indicates that only OCCs from the large follicles contain mature EGFRs that are capable of becoming activated by EGF. Remarkably, preincubation of cumulus cells from small follicles (3-4 mm) with FSH strongly increased EGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation to levels comparable with OCCs from large follicles. The FSH-dependent activation of EGFRs was beneficial for expansion of OCCs isolated from the small follicles since OCCs treated sequentially by FSH (3 h) and EGF (1 h) underwent expansion significantly better then OCCs cultured in FSH or EGF alone. We conclude that a FSH-dependent pathway has an important role in the maturation of the EGFR in cumulus cells and that activation of EGFR-dependent signaling is sufficient to induce expansion.

Abstract
Stimulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) produces membrane ruffles through the small G protein Rac1; however, the signaling pathway from EGFR to Rac1 has not yet been clarified. Here, we show that autophosphorylation of EGFR at tyrosine 992 is required for EGF-induced membrane ruffle formation in CHO cells. Signaling from the autophosphorylated tyrosine 992 appears to be mediated by phospholipase C (PLC) gamma 1. Furthermore, activation of Rac1 by EGF is inhibited by a PLC inhibitor. These results, taken together, suggest that autophosphorylation of EGFR at tyrosine 992 and the subsequent PLC gamma 1 activation transduce the signal to Rac1 to induce membrane ruffle formation.

Abstract
Cell migration involves many steps, including membrane protrusion and the development of new adhesions. Here we have investigated whether there is a link between actin polymerization and integrin engagement. In response to signals that trigger membrane protrusion, the actin-related protein (Arp)2/3 complex transiently binds to vinculin, an integrin-associated protein. The interaction is regulated, requiring phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and Rac1 activation, and is sufficient to recruit the Arp2/3 complex to new sites of integrin aggregation. Binding of the Arp2/3 complex to vinculin is direct and does not depend on the ability of vinculin to associate with actin. We have mapped the binding site for the Arp2/3 complex to the hinge region of vinculin, and a point mutation in this region selectively blocks binding to the Arp2/3 complex. Compared with WT vinculin, expression of this mutant in vinculin-null cells results in diminished lamellipodial protrusion and spreading on fibronectin. The recruitment of the Arp2/3 complex to vinculin may be one mechanism through which actin polymerization and membrane protrusion are coupled to integrin-mediated adhesion.

Abstract
Phospholipase C-gamma1(PLC-gamma1) is known to play an essential role in various cellular responses, such as proliferation and tumorigenesis, and PLC-gamma1-specific inhibitors are commonly employed to investigate the mechanism of the PLC-gamma1-mediated signaling pathway. In this study, we developed a single chain antibody fragment (scFv) as a blocker for PLC-gamma1 mediated signaling. scFv, designated F7-scFv, specifically bound to PLC-gamma1 with high affinity (K(d)=1.9x10(-8) M) in vitro. F7-scFv also bound to PLC-gamma1 in vivo and altered the distribution pattern of PLC-gamma1 from the cytoplasm to the intracellular aggregates, where F7-scFv was localized. Moreover, F7-scFv interrupted the EGF-induced translocation of PLC-gamma1 from the cytosol to the membrane ruffle and attenuated EGF-induced inositol phosphates generation and intracellular calcium mobilization. These results indicate that F7-scFv blocks EGF-induced PLC-gamma1 activation by causing sequestering of PLC-gamma1 into intracellular aggregates, and may therefore be useful in studies of the PLC-gamma1-mediated signaling pathway.

Abstract
Interactions between integrins and tyrosine kinase receptors can modulate a variety of cell functions. We observed a cooperative interaction between the beta(1) integrin and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3 or Flt4) that appeared to be required for cell migration. By using VEGFR-3-transfected 293 cells (293/VEGFR-3) or primary dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMEC), we found that stimulation with either soluble or immobilized extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, collagen or fibronectin (FN), resulted in the increased tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-3 in the absence of a cognate ligand. This increased tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-3 was diminished by pretreatment with a blocking antibody against the beta(1) integrin. Cross-linking with anti-beta(1) integrin antibody induced a similar degree of tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-3. Stimulation with collagen or FN induced an association between beta(1) integrin and VEGFR-3 in both 293/VEGFR-3 and primary DMEC cells. Collagen or FN-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-3 was inhibited by treatment with cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization. Collagen or FN was able to induce the migration of 293/VEGFR-3 or DMEC cells to a limited extent. However, migration was dramatically enhanced when a gradient of the cognate ligand, VEGF-D, was added. VEGF-D failed to induce cell migration in the absence of ECM proteins. Introducing a mutation at the kinase domain of VEGFR-3 or treatment with blocking antibody against either VEGFR-3 or beta(1) integrin inhibited cell migration induced by ECM and VEGF-D, indicating that signals from both beta(1) integrin and VEGFR-3 are required for this cell function.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is able to invade nonphagocytic cells, an essential feature for its pathogenicity. This induced phagocytosis process requires tightly regulated steps of actin polymerization and depolymerization. Here, we investigated how interactions of the invasion protein InlB with mammalian cells control the cytoskeleton during Listeria internalization. By fluorescence microscopy and transfection experiments, we show that the actin-nucleating Arp2/3 complex, the GTPase Rac, LIM kinase (LIMK), and cofilin are key proteins in InlB-induced phagocytosis. Overexpression of LIMK1, which has been shown to phosphorylate and inactivate cofilin, induces accumulation of F-actin beneath entering particles and inhibits internalization. Conversely, inhibition of LIMK's activity by expressing a dominant negative construct, LIMK1(-), or expression of the constitutively active S3A cofilin mutant induces loss of actin filaments at the phagocytic cup and also inhibits phagocytosis. Interestingly, those constructs similarly affect other actin-based phenomenons, such as InlB-induced membrane ruffling or Listeria comet tail formations. Thus, our data provide evidence for a control of phagocytosis by both activation and deactivation of cofilin. We propose a model in which cofilin is involved in the formation and disruption of the phagocytic cup as a result of its local progressive enrichment.

Abstract
Hepatocytes maintained in primary culture for periods of 1 to 24 hours exhibited a rapid decline in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced activation of phospholipase C (PLC), as was evident in a loss of EGF-induced inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) formation and mobilization of Ca(2+) from intracellular Ca(2+) stores. The loss of PLC activation was not the result of a decrease in EGF receptor or phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLCgamma1) protein levels, nor the result of a loss of tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins, but was associated with a decrease in EGF-induced translocation of PLCgamma1 to the Triton-insoluble fraction, presumably reflecting binding to the actin cytoskeleton. Disruption of F-actin by treatment of cultured hepatocytes with cytochalasin D recovered the EGF-induced IP(3) formation and Ca(2+) mobilization to the same level and with the same dose-response relationship as was obtained in freshly isolated cells. Analysis of PLCgamma1 colocalization with F-actin by confocal microscopy showed that PLCgamma1 was mostly distributed diffusely in the cytosol, both in freshly plated cells and in cells in culture for 24 hours, despite marked differences in actin structures. EGF stimulation caused a modest redistribution of PLCgamma1 and a detectable increase in colocalization with cortical actin structures in freshly plated cells or in cytochalasin D-treated cells, but in cells that had been maintained and spread in culture only a limited PLCgamma1 relocation was detected to specific actin-structure associated with lamellipodia and membrane ruffles. We conclude that actin cytoskeletal structures can exert negative control over PLCgamma1 activity in hepatocytes and the interaction of the enzyme with specific actin structures dissociates PLCgamma1 tyrosine phosphorylation from activation of its enzymatic activity.

Abstract
To determine the distribution of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) on the surface of cells responding to EGF as a chemoattractant, an EGFR-green fluorescent protein chimera was expressed in the MTLn3 mammary carcinoma cell line. The chimera was functional and easily visualized on the cell surface. In contrast to other studies indicating that the EGFR might be localized to certain regions of the plasma membrane, we found that the chimera is homogeneously distributed on the plasma membrane and becomes most concentrated in vesicles after endocytosis. In spatial gradients of EGF, endocytosed receptor accumulates on the upgradient side of the cell. Visualization of the binding of fluorescent EGF to cells reveals that the affinity properties of the receptor, together with its expression level on cells, can provide an initial amplification step in spatial gradient sensing.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) subtypes beta, gamma, and delta comprise a related group of multidomain phosphodiesterases that cleave the polar head groups from inositol lipids. Activated by all classes of cell surface receptor, these enzymes generate the ubiquitous second messengers inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. The last 5 years have seen remarkable advances in our understanding of the molecular and biological facets of PLCs. New insights into their multidomain arrangement and catalytic mechanism have been gained from crystallographic studies of PLC-delta(1), while new modes of controlling PLC activity have been uncovered in cellular studies. Most notable is the realization that PLC-beta, -gamma, and -delta isoforms act in concert, each contributing to a specific aspect of the cellular response. Clues to their true biological roles were also obtained. Long assumed to function broadly in calcium-regulated processes, genetic studies in yeast, slime molds, plants, flies, and mammals point to specific and conditional roles for each PLC isoform in cell signaling and development. In this review we consider each subtype of PLC in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals and discuss their molecular regulation and biological function.

Abstract
We explored the hypothesis that the chemotactic migration of carcinoma cells that assemble hemidesmosomes involves the activation of a signaling pathway that releases the alpha6beta4 integrin from these stable adhesion complexes and promotes its association with F-actin in cell protrusions enabling it to function in migration. Squamous carcinoma-derived A431 cells were used because they express alpha6beta4 and migrate in response to EGF stimulation. Using function-blocking antibodies, we show that the alpha6beta4 integrin participates in EGF-stimulated chemotaxis and is required for lamellae formation on laminin-1. At concentrations of EGF that stimulate A431 chemotaxis ( approximately 1 ng/ml), the alpha6beta4 integrin is mobilized from hemidesmosomes as evidenced by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy using mAbs specific for this integrin and hemidesmosomal components and its loss from a cytokeratin fraction obtained by detergent extraction. EGF stimulation also increased the formation of lamellipodia and membrane ruffles that contained alpha6beta4 in association with F-actin. Importantly, we demonstrate that this mobilization of alpha6beta4 from hemidesmosomes and its redistribution to cell protrusions occurs by a mechanism that involves activation of protein kinase C-alpha and that it is associated with the phosphorylation of the beta4 integrin subunit on serine residues. Thus, the chemotactic migration of A431 cells on laminin-1 requires not only the formation of F-actin-rich cell protrusions that mediate alpha6beta4-dependent cell movement but also the disruption of alpha6beta4-containing hemidesmosomes by protein kinase C.

Abstract
Formation of lamellipodia and the retraction of ruffles are essential activities during motility and migration of eukaryotic cells. We have developed a computer-assisted stroboscopic method for the continuous observation of cell dynamics (stroboscopic analysis of cell dynamics, SACED) that allows one to analyze changes in lamellipodia protrusion and ruffle retraction with high resolution in space and time. To demonstrate the potential of this method we analyzed keratinocytes in culture, unstimulated or stimulated with epidermal growth factor (EGF), which is known to induce cell motility and migration. Keratinocytes stimulated with EGF exhibited a 2.6-fold increase in their migration velocity, which coincided with enhanced ruffle retraction velocity (144%) and increased ruffle frequency (135%) compared to control cells. We also recorded an enhanced frequency of lamellipodia (135%), whereas the velocity of lamellipodia protrusion remained unchanged. These results on ruffle and lamellipodia dynamics in epidermal cells show that SACED is at least equal to established methods in terms of accuracy. SACED is, however, advantageous concerning resolution in time and therefore allows one to analyze the activity of lamellipodia and ruffles in as yet unknown detail. Moreover, SACED offers two opportunities that render this technique superior to established methods: First, several parameters relevant to cell motility can be analyzed simultaneously. Second, a large number of cells can conveniently be examined, which facilitates the compilation of statistically significant data.

Abstract
This study examines the effects of mutations at and in the vicinity of tyrosine 992 of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) on epidermal growth factor- (EGF-) stimulated internalization of the receptor. Two regions of the EGFr adjacent to this domain have been defined previously as internalization domains. The present work shows that the mutation of negatively charged amino acid residues near Tyr992 to their uncharged analogues increases the rate of EGF receptor internalization. In addition, the conversion of Tyr992, which is an EGFr ligand-induced autophosphorylation site, to phenylalanine also increases the rate of receptor internalization. However, the mutation of Tyr992 to a glutamate residue does not alter the receptor internalization rate. In addition, the truncation of the EGFr at glutamate 996 reduces the internalization rate by half. This result confirms previous reports that residues immediately C-terminal to Glu996 are necessary to allow the normal rate of ligand-induced receptor endocytosis. The data suggest that negative charge in the vicinity of Tyr992, and potentially the phosphorylation of the EGFr at Tyr992, reduces the rate of ligand-induced receptor endocytosis. This reduction in internalization rate increases the lifetime of the activated EGFr in the plasma membrane by about 70%, thus suggesting that phosphorylation of Tyr992 acts to increase the signaling capacity of the EGF receptor even as it directly acts as an SH2 binding site.

Abstract
Human keratinocytes migrate towards the negative pole in DC electric fields of physiological strength. This directional migration is promoted by epidermal growth factor (EGF). To investigate how EGF and its receptor (EGFR) regulate this directionality, we first examined the effect of protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including PD158780, a specific inhibitor for EGFR, on this response. At low concentrations, PD158780 inhibited keratinocyte migration directionality, but not the rate of migration; at higher concentrations, it reduced the migration rate as well. The less specific inhibitors, genistein, lavendustin A and tyrphostin B46, reduced the migration rate, but did not affect migration directionality. These data suggest that inhibition of EGFR kinase activity alone reduces directed motility, and inhibition of multiple tyrosine kinases, including EGFR, reduces the cell migration rate. EGFR redistribution also correlates with directional migration. EGFR concentrated on the cathodal face of the cell as early as 5 minutes after exposure to electric fields. PD158780 abolished EGFR localization to the cathodal face. These data suggest that EGFR kinase activity and redistribution in the plasma membrane are required for the directional migration of keratinocytes in DC electric fields. This study provides the first insights into the mechanisms of directed cell migration in electric fields.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) activates a well-characterized signal transduction cascade in a wide variety of cells. This activation leads to increased cell proliferation in most cell types. Among the early effects evoked by EGF are receptor clustering, cell rounding, and early gene expression. The influence of gravity on EGF-induced EGF receptor clustering and gene expression as well as on actin polymerization and cell rounding have been investigated in adherent A431 epithelial cells with the use of sounding rockets to create microgravity conditions. EGF-induced c-fos and c-jun expression decreased in microgravity. This was caused by alteration of the EGF receptor and protein kinase C-mediated signal transduction pathways. In contrast, neither the binding of EGF to the receptor nor the receptor clustering were changed under microgravity conditions. Because cell morphology was also modulated under microgravity conditions, and the growth factor-induced signal transduction cascades have been demonstrated to be linked to the actin microfilament system, it is tempting to suggest that the actin microfilament system constitutes the gravity-sensitive cell component.

Abstract
The widely expressed phospholipase C gamma1 (PLCgamma1) isoform has been implicated in the signalling of cell growth through its ability to hydrolyse phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to give inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol. Stimulation of PLCgamma1 activity occurs upon phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues, although it is unclear how this phosphorylation actually stimulates catalytic activity. Indeed recent reports suggest that accessory factors such as GTP-binding proteins may also be required for complete activation of PLCgamma1 in some cells. This may be of importance in vascular smooth muscle where traditionally G-protein linked PLCbeta isoforms are often absent. Here, we show that bovine aortic PLCgamma1 activity is substantially enhanced by both GTPgammaS and sodium fluoride. Similarly, immunoprecipitated PLCgamma1 is associated with an approximately 40kDa GTPgammaS-binding protein and both Galphai and Galphaq were detected in this immunoprecipitate. This data suggests that bovine aortic PLCgamma1 is both associated with, and may be activated by, heterotrimeric G-proteins.

Abstract
In erythrocytes, 80-kD protein 4.1R regulates critical membrane properties of deformability and mechanical strength. However, previously obtained data suggest that multiple isoforms of protein 4.1, generated by alternative pre-mRNA splicing, are expressed during erythroid differentiation. Erythroid precursors use two splice acceptor sites at the 5′ end of exon 2, thereby generating two populations of 4.1 RNA: one that includes an upstream AUG-1 in exon 2′ and encodes high molecular weight isoforms, and another that skips AUG-1 in exon 2′ and encodes 4.1 by initiation at a downstream AUG-2 in exon 4. To begin an analysis of the complex picture of protein 4.1R expression and function during erythropoiesis, we determined the number and primary structure of 4.1R isoforms expressed in erythroblasts. We used reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction to amplify and clone full-length coding domains from the population of 4.1R cDNA containing AUG-1 and the population excluding AUG-1. We observed an impressive repertoire of 4.1R isoforms that included 7 major and 11 minor splice variants, thus providing the first definitive characterization of 4.1R primary structures in a single-cell lineage. 4.1R isoforms, transfected into COS-7 cells, distributed to the nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and apparent centrosome. We confirmed previous studies showing that inclusion of exon 16 was essential for efficient nuclear localization. Unexpectedly, immunochemical analysis of COS-7 cells transfected with an isoform lacking both AUG-1 and AUG-2 documented that a previously unidentified downstream translation initiation codon located in exon 8 can regulate expression of 4.1R. We speculate that the repertoire of primary structure of 4.1R dictates its distinct binding partners and functions during erythropoiesis.

Abstract
EAST is a novel epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) substrate. It interacts with Eps15, another EGFR substrate which is involved in receptor endocytosis. In this study we show that EAST associates with focal adhesions and actin filaments. First, in immunofluorescence and electron microscopy analysis, an extensive codistribution of EAST with vinculin, paxillin and actin filaments was seen. Second, overexpression of the NH2 terminus of EAST led to a formation of actin-rich microspikes and membrane protrusions. Third, in cosedimentation assay EAST showed a direct association with actin. These results suggest that EAST is involved in the EGFR-regulated reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and may be part of a link between cytoskeleton and endocytic machinery.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces rapid actin filament assembly in the membrane skeleton of a variety of cells. To investigate the significance of this process for signal transduction, actin polymerization is inhibited by dihydrocytochalasin B (CB). CB almost completely abolishes EGF-induced actin polymerization, as assessed by quantitative confocal laser scanning microscopy. Under these conditions, EGF induces enhanced EGF receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase activity, as well as superinduction of the c-fos proto-oncogene. These data suggest that EGF-induced actin polymerization may be important for negative feedback regulation of signal transduction by the EGFR. The phosphorylation of Thr654 by protein kinase C (PKC) is a well-characterized negative feedback control mechanism for signal transduction by the EGFR tyrosine kinase. A synthetic peptide, corresponding to the regions flanking Thr654 of the EGFR, is used to analyze EGF stimulated PKC activity by incorporation of 32P into the peptide. Cotreatment of cells with CB and EGF results in a complete loss of EGF-induced phosphorylation of the peptide. These data suggest that actin polymerization is obligatory for negative feedback regulation of the EGFR tyrosine kinase through the C-kinase pathway.

Abstract
Growth factors stimulate sustained cell migration as well as inducing select acute motility-related events such as membrane ruffling and disruption of focal adhesions. However, an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of sustained migration that are regulated by growth factor signals is lacking: how the biochemical signals are related to physical processes underlying locomotion, and how these events are coordinately influenced by interplay between growth factor and matrix substratum signals. To address these issues, we studied sustained migration of NR6 fibroblasts on a complex human matrix substratum, Amgel, comparing effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment across a range of Amgel levels. In the absence of EGF, cell migration speed and directional persistence are relatively independent of Amgel level, whereas in the presence of EGF speed is increased at intermediate Amgel levels but not at low and high Amgel levels while directional persistence is decreased at intermediate but not at low and high Amgel levels. The net effect of EGF is to increase the frequency of changes in the cell direction, and at the same time to slightly increase the path-length and thereby greatly enhance random dispersion of cells. Despite increasing migration speed during long-term sustained migration EGF treatment does not lead to significantly increased absolute rates of membrane extension in contrast to its well-known elicitation of membrane ruffling in the short term. However, EGF treatment does decrease cell spread area, yielding an apparent enhancement of specific membrane extension rate, i.e. normalized to cell spread area. Cell movement speed and directional persistence are thus, respectively, directly related and indirectly related to the increase in specific membrane extension rate (alternatively, the decrease in cell spread area) induced by EGF treatment during sustained migration. These results indicate that growth factor and matrix substrata coordinately regulate sustained cell migration through combined governance of underlying physical processes.

Abstract
Stimulation of metastatic MTLn3 cells with EGF causes the rapid extension of lamellipods, which contain a zone of F-actin at the leading edge. In order to establish the mechanism for accumulation of F-actin at the leading edge and its relationship to lamellipod extension in response to EGF, we have studied the kinetics and location of EGF-induced actin nucleation activity in MTLn3 cells and characterized the actin dynamics at the leading edge by measuring the changes at the pointed and barbed ends of actin filaments upon EGF stimulation of MTLn3 cells. The major result of this study is that stimulation of MTLn3 cells with EGF causes a transient increase in actin nucleation activity resulting from the appearance of free barbed ends very close to the leading edge of extending lamellipods. In addition, cytochalasin D causes a significant decrease in the total F-actin content in EGF-stimulated cells, indicating that both actin polymerization and depolymerization are stimulated by EGF. Pointed end incorporation of rhodamine-labeled actin by the EGF stimulated cells is 2.12+/−0.47 times higher than that of control cells. Since EGF stimulation causes an increase in both barbed and pointed end incorporation of rhodamine-labeled actin in the same location, the EGF-stimulated nucleation sites are more likely due either to severing of pre-existing filaments or de novo nucleation of filaments at the leading edge thereby creating new barbed and pointed ends. The timing and location of EGF-induced actin nucleation activity in MTLn3 cells can account for the observed accumulation of F-actin at the leading edge and demonstrate that this F-actin rich zone is the primary actin polymerization zone after stimulation.

Abstract
An affinity chromatography strategy was used to search for proteins in A549 cells which interact with the N-terminus of lipocortin 1 (annexin 1). Using the biologically active fragment Lc13-25 as the affinity ligand, two proteins of molecular weight (m.w.) 52 and 48kDa were extracted. Affinity blots of these proteins bound iodinated Lc13-25. Partial tryptic digests of these proteins were analysed by matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry and found to display fragmentation patterns with a strong similarity to those of cytokeratin 8 and 18 respectively. Subsequent blotting with a panel of specific cytokeratin antibodies strongly supported the idea that the two proteins were cytokeratin 8 and cytokeratin 18. Cytokeratin 8 was isolated from A549 cells in intermediate filament (IF) preparations which were also found to contain lipocortin 1 as a potential intermediate filament associated protein (IFAP). This association persisted throughout cycles of IF assembly and disassembly. Dual-labelling immuno-histochemistry in A549 cells showed strong co-localization of lipocortin 1 and cytokeratin 8. The implications of this finding are discussed in the light of the biological activity and possible function of lipocortin 1.

Abstract
Cell growth and migration are essential processes for the differentiation, maintenance, and repair of the intestinal epithelium. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is an important factor in the reorganization of the cytoskeleton required for both processes. Because we had previously found significant changes in the cytoskeleton during polyamine deficiency, it was of interest to know whether those changes could prevent EGF from stimulating growth and migration. Polyamine biosynthesis in IEC-6 cells was interrupted by treatment with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, the primary rate-limiting enzyme of polyamine biosynthesis. DFMO halted cell proliferation and inhibited cell migration, and neither function could be normally stimulated by EGF. Immunocytochemistry of the transferrin receptor (used as a marker for the endocytic pathway) revealed an abnormal distribution of the EGF receptor (EGFR) 10 min after binding EGF. Polyamine deficiency depleted the cells of interior microfilaments, thickened the actin cortex, and prevented the prompt association of EGF-bound EGFR with actin. EGF-stimulated 170-kDa protein tyrosine phosphorylation and the kinase activity of purified membrane EGFR were reduced by 50%. Immunoprecipated EGFR protein concentration, however, was not reduced by polyamine deficiency. All of these changes could be prevented by supplementation with putrescine. Cytoskeletal disruption, reduced EGFR phosphorylation and kinase activity, aberrant intracellular EGFR distribution, and delayed association with actin filaments suggest a partial explanation for the dependence of epithelial cell growth and migration on polyamines.

Regulation of tenascin-C, a vascular smooth muscle cell survival factor that interacts with the alpha v beta 3 integrin to promote epidermal growth factor receptor phosphorylation and growth.

Abstract
Tenascin-C (TN-C) is induced in pulmonary vascular disease, where it colocalizes with proliferating smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Furthermore, cultured SMCs require TN-C for EGF-dependent growth on type I collagen. In this study, we explore the regulation and function of TN-C in SMCs. We show that a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor (GM6001) suppresses SMC TN-C expression on native collagen, whereas denatured collagen promotes TN-C expression in a beta 3 integrin- dependent manner, independent of MMPs. Floating type I collagen gel also suppresses SMC MMP activity and TN-C protein synthesis and induces apoptosis, in the presence of EGF. Addition of exogenous TN-C to SMCs on floating collagen, or to SMCs treated with GM6001, restores the EGF growth response and "rescues" cells from apoptosis. The mechanism by which TN-C facilitates EGF-dependent survival and growth was then investigated. We show that TN-C interactions with alpha v beta 3 integrins modify SMC shape, and EGF- dependent growth. These features are associated with redistribution of filamentous actin to focal adhesion complexes, which colocalize with clusters of EGF-Rs, tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, and increased activation of EGF-Rs after addition of EGF. Cross-linking SMC beta 3 integrins replicates the effect of TN-C on EGF-R clustering and tyrosine phosphorylation. Together, these studies represent a functional paradigm for ECM-dependent cell survival whereby MMPs upregulate TN-C by generating beta 3 integrin ligands in type I collagen. In turn, alpha v beta 3 interactions with TN-C alter SMC shape and increase EGF-R clustering and EGF-dependent growth. Conversely, suppression of MMPs downregulates TN-C and induces apoptosis.
