Phospholipase C gamma 1 (PLC gamma 1) and p21ras guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activating protein (GAP) bind to and are phosphorylated by activated growth factor receptors. Both PLC gamma 1 and GAP contain two adjacent copies of the noncatalytic Src homology 2 (SH2) domain. The SH2 domains of PLC gamma 1 synthesized individually in bacteria formed high affinity complexes with the epidermal growth factor (EGF)- or platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-receptors in cell lysates, and bound synergistically to activated receptors when expressed together as one bacterial protein. In vitro complex formation was dependent on prior growth factor stimulation and was competed by intracellular PLC gamma 1. Similar results were obtained for binding of GAP SH2 domains to the PDGF-receptor. The isolated SH2 domains of other signaling proteins, such as p60src and Crk, also bound activated PDGF-receptors in vitro. SH2 domains, therefore, provide a common mechanism by which enzymatically diverse regulatory proteins can physically associate with the same activated receptors and thereby couple growth factor stimulation to intracellular signal transduction pathways.

A mercurial-insensitive ectoATPase, which was more active with CaATP than with MgATP, was induced when human hepatoma (Li-7A) cells were cultured in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and cholera toxin. Cholera toxin could be replaced by forskolin, 8-Br-cAMP, butyryl-cAMP, and dibutyryl-cAMP. Requirement for EGF was specific, but EGF was ineffective if added more than 24 h after the addition of forskolin or cholera toxin. It was concluded that induction of the ectoCa2(+)-ATPase was a consequence of the synergistic actions of EGF and cyclic AMP. The tyrosine kinase activity of the EGF receptor was essential for the induction of ectoCa2(+)-ATPase, since enzyme induction was abolished by a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein. Cycloheximide and actinomycin D were also inhibitory to enzyme induction, indicating that enhancement of enzyme activity by EGF and cAMP was not due to post-translational modification. The results of this and previous investigations established that the two ectoATPases of Li-7A cells are under different regulation.

We have examined the role of the NaK-ATPase pump activity on the ligand-induced down-regulation of gonadotropin receptors in cultured porcine Leydig and Sertoli cells. In both cells, inhibition of the NaK pump by ouabain produced a depletion of intracellular K+ levels (ID50, 10(-7) M) after a lag period of about 8 h. In the absence of ligand, the number of FSH receptors in ouabain-treated Sertoli cells was unaffected or slightly reduced, whereas a 2-fold increase in the number of human CG (hCG)/LH receptors with small changes in the binding affinity was observed in Leydig cells treated by ouabain. The effect of ouabain was dose dependent. Differences were also observed in the down-regulation process of gonadotropin receptors in ouabain-treated cells. The hCG-induced receptor loss in Leydig cells was completely reversed by ouabain whereas the drug had no effect on ligand-induced loss of FSH receptors in Sertoli cells. Similar results were observed when the cells were incubated in K+-free medium. Kinetics studies with labeled hCG have shown that ouabain treatment slows down significantly the rate of [125I]iodo-hCG internalization (t 1/2, 18 h; control cells, t 1/2, 6 h), but had no effect on the degradation of internalized hormone. The internalization of receptor-bound [125I]iodo-hCG was also reduced when Leydig cells were incubated in K+-free medium, but was restored when this medium was supplemented with rubidium. The influence of the NaK pump on the receptor regulation of a ligand common to both types of cells, such as epidermal growth factor, was studied under the same experimental conditions. Neither ouabain nor K+-free medium were able to prevent the epidermal growth factor-induced reduction of receptor levels in Leydig and Sertoli cells. Thus, it appears that modulation of ligand-induced receptor loss by depletion of cellular K+ levels is not dependent on the cell type, but on the ligand-receptor complex. The data also show a striking difference in the dynamics of gonadotropin-receptor interaction of two structurally related hormones.

Neonatal human prostatic epithelial cells (NP-2s) were transfected by strontium phosphate coprecipitation with a plasmid (pRSV-T) containing the SV40 early region genes. The cells transfected with pRSV-T, but not the sham-transfected controls, formed rapidly growing, multilayered colonies within 2 weeks at a frequency of 1 x 10(-4) in a serum-free medium (P4-8F). In all, 28 colonies of transformed cells were isolated. Three of these have been cultured for a sufficient length of time to show that their growth potentials are well beyond that of the normal progenitor cells (NP-2s). There is also little or no indication of the culture "crisis" commonly seen in SV40-transformed cells in these transfected lines. All contain cytokeratins and SV40 T-antigen as revealed by immunofluorescence, have ultrastructural features of epithelial cells, and are pseudodiploid. None have produced tumors within 1 year after s.c. injection into nude mice. The transformed as well as the parental NP-2s cells require bovine pituitary extract for growth in serum-free medium and are stimulated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and epidermal growth factor in clonal growth assays. In contrast, a prostatic carcinoma cell line (PC-3) is inhibited by TGF-beta 1. This serum-free system and immortalized transfected clones will be useful for studying the action of putative prostatic carcinogens and tumor-promoting agents.

Hepatic transport of epidermal growth factor (EGF) was studied in D-galactosamine-intoxicated rats by the multiple-indicator dilution (MID) method. The extraction ratio of 125I-labeled EGF in the intoxicated rats, obtained from a model-independent analysis of the dilution curves, decreased to 45% of the control values. A distributed two-compartment model was fitted to the dilution data by nonlinear least-squares regression, and the kinetic parameters, kon.PT (product of on-rate constant and receptor density), koff (off-rate constant) and ks (sequestration rate constant) were determined. The values of kon.PT and ks in the intoxicated rats decreased to approximately one-half and one-third of those in the control rats respectively. Similar decreases in the kon.PT and ks values in the intoxicated rats were also observed for the transport of 125I-labeled insulin, a positive control, into the liver. The 125I-labeled EGF binding experiment at equilibrium using liver homogenates revealed that the intoxication reduced the receptor density (PT) to one-third of the control values, whereas the equilibrium dissociation constant (kd) did not change significantly. The activities of Na+,K+-ATPase, cytochrome P-450 and glutathione S-transferase decreased in the intoxicated rats to 70-80% of the control values. The number of nuclei per unit area of tissue slices was also reduced to 70% of the control. Thus, the extent to which the enzyme activities and the number of nuclei decreased in the intoxicated liver was smaller than that of the number of EGF receptors. It is concluded that the reduction of EGF receptors cannot be explained by the "intact hepatocyte hypothesis" but rather by the functional change of hepatocytes induced by the administration of D-galactosamine.

We have analyzed the relationship between expression of the transformed phenotype and thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine, T3) inducibility of Na,K-ATPase and binding of 125I-epidermal growth factor (EGF) to cell membrane receptors in wild-type (wt) and mutant type 5 adenovirus (Ad5)-transformed CREF cells displaying a cold-sensitive (cs) expression of the transformed phenotype. CREF cells respond to thyroid hormone treatment with increased Na,K-ATPase activity and bind similar levels of 125I-EGF at 32 degrees C, 37 degrees C and 39.5 degrees C. In contrast, CREF cells transformed by wt Ad5 or the E1a plus E1b-transforming genes of wt Ad5 are refractile to T3 treatment and bind lower levels of 125I-EGF than CREF cells at all three temperatures. By employing a series of cloned CREF cell lines transformed by a host-range cold-sensitive mutant virus, H5hr1 or H5dl101, or the E1a or E1a plus E1b genes from these viruses, we have investigated expression of the transformed state and its relationship with hormone inducibility and EGF binding. When cs virus, cs E1a- or cs E1a plus E1b-transformed CREF clones were grown at 32 degrees C, a nonpermissive transforming temperature in which cs-transformed cells exhibit properties similar to untransformed CREF cells, T3 induced Na,K-ATPase activity and these cells bound similar levels of 125I-EGF as CREF cells. However, when cs virus- and cs Ela plus E1b-transformed CREF clones were incubated at 37 degrees C or 39.5 degrees C, temperatures at which cs-transformed cells exhibit properties similar to wt Ad5-transformed CREF cells, they did not respond to T3 and bound lower levels of 125I-EGF than CREF cells. In the case of cs E1a-transformed CREF clones, thyroid hormone responsiveness was observed at both 32 degrees C and 37 degrees C, but not at 39.5 degrees C. By performing temperature shift experiments--i.e. 32 degrees C to 37 degrees C, 32 degrees C to 39.5 degrees C, 37 degrees C to 32 degrees C, and 39.5 degrees C to 32 degrees C, it was demonstrated that after a shift from lower to higher temperature a 24-hr lag period was required for cs-transformed CREF cells to lose T3 inducibility and exhibit reduced EGF binding, whereas 96 hr after a shift from higher to lower temperature a 96-hr lag period was required for cs-transformed cells to regain T3 inducibility and increased 125I-EGF binding.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A cloned human hepatoma cell line (Li-7A), possessing epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors numbering in the range of 10-20 pmol/10(6) cells, was inhibited in its growth by EGF as well as an antagonist monoclonal antibody (MoAb) to the EGF receptor. The mode of action of the two ligands of EGF receptors appeared to be different as indicated by the following results: 1) EGF induced marked alteration in cell morphology, whereas the antibody did not; 2) cellular protein accumulated in the EGF-treated cells but not in the antibody treated cells; and 3) ectoATPase activities were greatly enhanced in Li-7A cells treated with EGF and cholera toxin but were unaffected in cells treated with antibody and cholera toxin. The last result also suggests that expression of ectoATPase activities is under the regulation of both EGF and cholera toxin. Li-7A cells provide an additional valuable experimental system for the study of EGF action, as well as the interactive effects of EGF and cholera toxin. The enrichment of the ATPase activities in the EGF-cholera toxin-treated cells can be exploited for the detailed study and isolation of these enzymes and elucidation of their physiological functions.

Cell culture conditions were devised that selectively supported growth of 13 or 14 gestation day F344 rat ureteric bud, the renal collecting duct anlagen. These same conditions also inhibited the growth of metanephrogenic mesenchyme, precursor of structures proximal to the duct. Isolated buds were cultured in Ham's F12 medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor, selenium, insulin, hydrocortisone, prostaglandin E1, transferrin, and triiodothyronine; fetal bovine serum (1%) was required for continuous propagation. Cultured cells were epithelial in morphology and formed domes. By electron microscopy, many structural characteristics of highly differentiated cells were evident: numerous mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, extensive endoplasmic reticulum, an occasional cilium, intracytoplasmic filaments, polarized formation of microvilli, and gap junctions. Histochemistry revealed considerable functional differentiation as well. Cultured bud cells, adult collecting duct, and fetal duct anlagen were positive for acid phosphatase, membrane-localized ATPase, and nonspecific esterase. Bud cells and fetal duct anlagen expressed high levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity while adult collecting duct exhibited slight activity. In addition, immunocytochemical observation of intermediate filament expression revealed the presence of epithelial cytokeratins but absence of mesenchymal vimentin in cultured bud cells and fetal and adult collecting ducts. These results indicate that the culture conditions described can maintain the partially differentiated fetal collecting duct anlagen in a state consistent with its embryonal derivation, and therefore may be useful in culture studies of renal differentiation.

Adenovirus-dependent release of choline phosphate from KB cells at pH 6.0 was partially blocked by ouabain. In K+-containing medium, maximum inhibition of release was obtained by 10(-5) M ouabain and half-maximal inhibition was achieved by about 0.5 X 10(-6)M ouabain. Ouabain did not block either the binding or the uptake of adenovirus by KB cells. Without K+, about 25% of cell-associated choline phosphate was released by adenovirus, whereas with 1 mM K+ about 50% was released. This activation by K+ was blocked by 0.1 mM ouabain. HeLa cells behaved like KB cells, but a mutant of HeLa cells resistant to ouabain (D98-OR) released much lower amounts of choline phosphate in response to human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2). Wild-type D98-OR cells bound nearly the same amount of adenovirus as did normal HeLa cells. Ad2 also increased the activity of Na+,K+-ATPase in KB cells, with maximum activation at 50 micrograms of Ad2 per ml. In D98-OR cells, Ad2 failed to activate Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Ad2-dependent lysis of endocytic vesicles (receptosomes) was assayed by measuring Ad2-dependent enhancement of epidermal growth factor-Pseudomonas exotoxin toxicity. This action of adenovirus was increased when K+ was present in the medium. Under the conditions used, K+ had no effect on the amount of Ad2 or epidermal growth factor taken up by the cells. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that Ad2-dependent cellular efflux of choline phosphate and adenovirus-dependent lysis of receptosomes may require Na+,K+-ATPase activity.

We have obtained a cloned cell line (Li-7A) from primary cultures of a human hepatoma xenograft (Li-7). Li-7A was able to grow in the absence of serum. Growth was stimulated 0-3 fold by addition of newborn calf serum, but was inhibited in DME/F12 media containing nine growth factors. The ectoMg2+-ATPase was 1.5-2 fold higher than the ectoCa2+-ATPase activity in cells grown in media with or without serum. In cells grown in media supplemented with the nine factors, the ectoCa2+-ATPase activity exceeded the ectoMg2+-ATPase, and there was also a 5-10 fold increase in its specific activity. Inhibition of growth was due to epidermal growth factor alone. The increased expression of the ectoCa2+-ATPase was absolutely dependent on EGF, but also required hydrocortisone and cholera toxin. The characteristics of Li-7A cells make it a suitable system for studying both the mechanism of action of EGF and plasma membrane ATPases.
