The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the synthesis of the nuclear protein cyclin and its relationship with cell proliferation has been studied in human carcinoma A431 cells. Quantitative two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis of [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides from EGF-treated and untreated A431 cells showed that the synthesis of cyclin (0.07% of total labeled protein) could be decreased to 20% (less than 0.01% of total labeled protein) by EGF at a concentration of 100 ng/ml. A good correlation between the effect of different concentrations of EGF on cyclin synthesis and A431 cell proliferation was found. A431-derived cells resistant to the growth-inhibitory effect of EGF showed no significant changes in cyclin synthesis after EGF treatment. Taken together, these results support the idea that cyclin may be an important protein that is involved in the control of cell proliferation.
在人A431癌细胞中研究了表皮生长因子(EGF)对核蛋白细胞周期蛋白合成的影响及其与细胞增殖的关系。对经EGF处理和未经处理的A431细胞中[35S]甲硫氨酸标记的多肽进行定量二维凝胶电泳分析,结果显示,在浓度为100 ng/ml的EGF作用下,细胞周期蛋白的合成(占总标记蛋白的0.07%)可降至20%(低于总标记蛋白的0.01%)。发现不同浓度的EGF对细胞周期蛋白合成的影响与A431细胞增殖之间存在良好的相关性。对EGF生长抑制作用具有抗性的A431衍生细胞在EGF处理后细胞周期蛋白合成未显示出显著变化。综上所述,这些结果支持细胞周期蛋白可能是参与细胞增殖控制的一种重要蛋白质这一观点。
