Sentence examples for egf it from inspiring English sources

Although HRG-induced expression was generally of a lower magnitude than for EGF, it was often sustained compared to EGF, consistent with our previous finding that HRG-dependent mitogenic signalling is sustained in these cells [ 32].

Since the direct stimulation of EGFR phosphorylation is minimal and not apparent in the presence of EGF it is likely that the long-term upregulation of EGFR expression is more important for CSPG signaling.

Furthermore, when EGF-R binds to EGF, it can move out of the caveolae with the modulation of Src kinase (Mineo et al, 1999).

As the mutated EGFR does not bind EGF, it is not recognised as an active receptor by the cellular machinery and is therefore not degraded along the activated receptor degradation pathway [ 15, 19, 35].

The specific nuclear proteins induced by butyrate to bind to ERE remain to be identified, but since the motif is related to EGF, it is plausible to assume that they are related to this growth factor.

While it may appear straightforward to consider the favorable ionic interaction between these oppositely charged residues, the Lys at this position is not conserved and in some instances in EGF it is a Ser.

For HB-EGF, it is interesting to note that the β-turn (1670 cm−1) correlates inversely with the Tyr (1516 cm−1) and Arg (1582 cm−1) crosspeaks (Fig. 11 D ).

Phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate (PMA) induced an increase in the transcriptional activity of SP1 through the deacetylation of SP1, and also provoked the ectodomain shedding of HB-EGF; it also increased the expression of HB-EGF 26, 27.

We chose to test the response of wounds to EGF, as it has previously been shown to have an effect on wound closure by altering cell motility and proliferation [1], [35].

Both, however, were stimulated by EGF, albeit it took longer to achieve the same activation levels than in control siRNA transfected cells, suggesting that this growth factor and its receptors may deploy additional, perhaps slower Rac1 independent mechanisms to activate JNK and PAK.

The main ligand of EGFR is the epidermal growth factor (EGF), but it can also be regulated by other six known ligands: TGF-α, amphiregulin, epigen, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), epiregulin and betacellulin [ 12].
