c-erbB, encoding the EGF receptor (EGF-R), was originally identified as the cellular homolog of a chicken leukemia oncogene. In humans, EGF-R is distributed widely except in hemopoietic tissues, and its amplification is associated with epidermal and glial malignancies. Here we show that c-erbB is present in normal chicken erythrocytic progenitors and transmits the mitogenic signal induced by TGF alpha. Cells that contain high affinity EGF-R are at approximately the BFU-E stage, and their long-term renewal can be induced by TGF alpha. Upon addition of insulin and erythropoietin, they can be induced to terminally differentiate into red cells. We previously demonstrated that v-erbA blocks differentiation of chicken erythrocytic progenitors but does not abrogate their growth factor dependence for proliferation. These data indicate that proliferation and differentiation are not necessarily coupled in these cells. They also demonstrate a direct role of c-erbB in the control of self-renewal of normal chicken erythrocytic progenitors and could account for the predominant leukemogenic potential of the chicken erbB gene.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009857 Oncogenes Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES) of a v-oncogene.
