Two hundred and twenty one gastric carcinomas were immunohistochemically stained for h-EGF and we examined the correlation between h-EGF immunoreactivities and histologic findings. Regarding macroscopic and histologic types, incidence of h-EGF immunoreactivities in infiltrating type and in poorly differentiated type was significantly higher than those in localized type and in differentiated type, respectively. In addition, h-EGF producing carcinomas showed high positive rate in prognostic serosal involvement and scirrhous type in stroma. Prognosis in patients with h-EGF producing tumors was poorer than that in those with h-EGF non-producing tumors, especially in stages II and III. These results suggest that h-EGF immunoreactivities serves as a biological marker of high malignancy.

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.
