The effect of an EGF-R selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZM252868 was evaluated on the proliferation of PC-3 and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines, which are purported to utilize an EGF-R-mediated autocrine pathway for regulation of cell growth. Basal growth of DU-145 cells was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the inhibitor, showing a 70% reduction at 1 microM, whilst the growth of PC-3 cells was not affected at this concentration. In the presence of 0.1 microM inhibitor, EGF and TGF alpha-stimulated DU-145 cell growth was decreased to below basal levels, while only TGF alpha-stimulated PC-3 cell growth was inhibited at a 1-microM concentration. Any growth responses to aFGF, bFGF, KGF, IGF1 and PDGF by DU-145 and PC-3 cells were unaffected by the inhibitor at concentrations of 1 microM or less. Additionally, the distribution of immunoreactive EGF-R varied between DU-145 and PC-3 cells, with EGF-R being predominately located on the cell membrane and in the cytoplasm, respectively.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
