Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is known to induce cell growth in various cell types via transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). To investigate the involvement of HB-EGF and EGFR in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI), we examined the expressions of mRNA and protein in rat hearts 6 weeks after MI-induction. Where increased expressions of HB-EGF mRNA and protein were observed, infarcted myocardium was replaced by extracellular matrix and interstitial fibroblasts. EGFR mRNA and protein expression did not show significant changes in sham-operated heart tissues, non-infarcted region, and infarcted region. In vitro study demonstrated that HB-EGF mRNA was expressed mainly in cultured fibroblasts rather than in myocytes. We suggest that the interaction between HB-EGF and EGFR transactivation is closely related to the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and cardiac remodeling after MI in an autocrine, paracrine, and juxtacrine manner.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
