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
PDGF is made by
platelets,
macrophages,
endothelial cells
PDGF induces
migration and proliferation of fibroblasts,
smooth muscle cells,
and monocytes
Fibroblast Growht factor is best characterized
acidic -: aFGF or FGF1,
basic - bFGF or FGF2
FGF family has
10 members
FGF can associate with
heparan sulfate in ECM
FGF receptors
intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity
FGF is involved in
angiogenesis,
wound healing,
myocyte and blood vessel development,
hematopoesis
Transforming Growth factor beta family
TGF beta 1, 2, and 3;
BMPs
activins
inhibins
Most widespread TGF
TGF beta 1
TGF beta 1 is made by
macrophages,
endothelial cells (Ecs?),
lymphocytes and others
TGF receptors
type I and type II receptors with serine/threonine kinase activity
TGF receptor binding
binds type II first then complexes with type I
then phosphorylates Smad faimily preteins
that transduce signal
Smad
potent growth inhibitory signal and loss is associated with unregulated growth and neoplasia
Pleitrophic effects of TGF beta depend on
type, concentration, and co factors
TGF beta functions
inhibits proliferation of epithelial cells,
upregulates cell cycle inhibitors in some cells,
stimulates proliferation of fibroblasts and smooth muscel cells,
stimulates fibrosis,
anti-inflammatory
receptors with intrinsic kinase activity
most growth factor
receptors w/o intrinsic kinase activity that recurit kinases
cytokines
7TM gprotein coupled receptors
histmaine,
chemotactic,
signals,
epinephrine
Steroid hormone like receptors
in cytosol and nucleus: steroids, Vit D, retinoids, PPARs
receptor binding causes
receptor anchoring and aggregation
cascade pathways associated with tyrosine kinase
Ras-GTP —> MAP kinase,
PI3 kinases —–>AKT kinases,
PLCgammaPIP2 —->IP3 + DAG
PI3 –>AKT kinases are involved in
cell survival (inhibition of apoptosis),
proliferation,
insulin signaling
PLC –> IP2 +DAG
IP2 –>IP3 causes inc Ca ,
DAG –> activates PKC (Ca also activates PKC)
how does RAS-GTP get activated
tyrosine kinase phosphorylation –>GRB2
—>SOS —->RasGDP —->Ras GTP;
adaptor proteins and linker proteins lead to RAS (an oncogene) and binding to ATP makes it active
How does RAS-GTP get shup off
intrinsic GTPase activity cleaves terminal phsophate
Down stream signal from Ras-GTP
Raf –> MEK –> ERK –> nucleus –>
activation of transcription cFOS, cMYC, cJUN
cFOS, cMYC, cJUN are
competence factors and when they are active they allow the cell to get out of G1 and start dividing
Receptors without kinase activity
recurit JAK (janus kinase) for downstream signaling via STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription ) sending signal to the nucleus
G Protein Linked receptors
adenyl cyclase - inc cAMP to activate cAMP dependent kinases.
PLC gamma - activates PKC and increases Ca2+
Signal transduction occurs via
MAP kinase,
PI3 kinase, IP3 signaling/PKC,
cyclicAMP kinases,
JAK/STAT pathway
Transcription factors have
DNA binding zinc fingers
TFs will
increase or decrease transcriptin
TF phosphorylation will
alter activity
TFs can be
protooncogenes/tumor supressor genes (myc, fos, p53)
Growth in serum
occurs bc you have coagulation and activated plateltes will secrete a lot of growth factors
Growth in plasma
does not occur bc of lack of activate plateltes that secrete growth factors
plasma and PDGF or PDGF and EGF will result in
growith bc cells need at least 2 signals, one to get comptence factors activated and another to push the cycle forward
Cyclin dependent kinases are
constitutive and are inactive until the appropriate cyclin is produced and then they phosphorylate different proteins
cylin in G1–>S
Cyclin E
Cyclin in S–>G2
Cyclin A
