3. 7 Growth factors Flashcards
growth factors
are like protooncogenes
cell growth occurs viea
auto,
para, and
endocrine actions
auto, para, and endocrine actions work through
intrinsic kinase activity (mostly tyrosine kinase),
no kinase activity,
G protein-linked
cell growth requires
more than one stimulus/growth factor to grow
No growth factors results in
apoptosis
some growth factors results in
survival
other growth facotrs results in
division
EGF and TGFalpha are
epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha are part of the EGF family and share a common receptor with intrinsic tyrosinge kinase activity
EGF and TGF alpha stimulate
a variety of epithelial and mesenchymal cells to proliferate
HGF
hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor
HGF receptor
c-met, a frequently mutated protooncogene that has tyrosine kinase activity
HGF is made by
mesenchymal cells
HGF stimulates
stimulates several types of epithelial cells including hepatocytes and bile duct epithelial cells
HGF promotes
embryonic development and scattering/migration of cells
VEGF
vascular endothelial growth factor
VEGF family
A B C D
VEGF is an inducer of
blood vessel formation in embryogenesis wound healing and tumor formation
VEGFR -1, 2, 3
3 VEGF receptors with tyrosine kinase activity
VEGFR-2
on endothelial cells,
binds VEGF-A,
main role is angiogenesis
VEGF-C and D bind to
VEGFR 3 and promote lymphatic development
PGF - Platelet derived growth factor sturcture
2 chains of A and B
PGF isoforms
AA,
AB,
BB
PGF C and D
recently discovered
PDGFR alpha and beta
receptors with tyrosine kinase activity
