Vascular smooth muscle cells migrate, proliferate, and transform to foam cells during the atherosclerotic process. We have reported that smooth muscle cells derived from the intima of atherosclerotic lesions express the proto-oncogene c-fms and a scavenger receptor, which are not normally expressed in normal medial smooth muscle cells. In the present study, we demonstrated that heparin binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) induced the expression of c-fms and the scavenger receptor in normal human medial smooth muscle cells to the level observed in the intima. The expression of c-fms was partially inhibited by a protein kinase C inhibitor, suggesting that HB-EGF induces c-fms via pathways that are both dependent on and independent of protein kinase C. By contrast, most of the scavenger receptor induction by HB-EGF was suppressed by protein kinase C inhibitors. These results indicate that two characteristic genes of monocyte-derived macrophages were induced by HB-EGF via different mechanisms. The alteration of gene expression in response to HB-EGF may play an important role in the phenotypic change of smooth muscle cells to macrophage-like foam cells during the atherosclerotic process.

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.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
