The time and dose-dependent effects of the in vivo administration of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), on hepatic microsomal membrane functions, were studied in female Wistar rats. Administration of HCB (100 mg/100 g b.w.) resulted in time-dependent decreases in the activity of two membrane-bound enzymes: 5'nucleotidase and Na+/K+ ATPase. HCB was found to cause a significant rise in protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity during the early stages of intoxication (day 2), followed by a significant decrease at 10 days, returning to control levels after 20 days of treatment. A stimulatory effect of HCB on in vitro endogenous microsomal protein phosphorylation was observed from 2 days of intoxication up to 30 days of treatment, with an important stimulation of phosphorylation at 5 days. Administration of HCB (100 mg/100 g b.w.) for 10 days caused a 50% reduction in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) ligand binding. The effects of known specific inhibitors of protein phosphatases on endogenous protein phosphorylation were studied. HCB affected the labelling of several bands, as well as the 5'nucleotidase and PTK activities, in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, this study indicated that the in vivo administration of HCB results in a significant alteration of membrane function.

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.

D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.
