Jm. Uribe et al., EPIDERMAL GROWTH-FACTOR INHIBITS CA2-DEPENDENT TRANSPORT IN T84 HUMANCOLONIC EPITHELIAL-CELLS(), American journal of physiology. Cell physiology, 40(3), 1996, pp. 914-922
This study examined whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) inhibits Ca2
+-dependent Cl- secretion by T84 cells. Basolateral EGF inhibited Cl-
secretion induced by carbachol or thapsigargin, without blocking the r
ise in intracellular Ca2+. Studies have shown that carbachol renders T
84 cells refractory to subsequent stimulation by thapsigargin, an effe
ct ascribed to D-myo-inositol 3,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate [D-Ins(3,4,5,6
)P-4]. EGF also increased DL-Ins(3,4,5,6)P-4 to a maximum of 170% abov
e control. However, despite the fact that EGF inhibited Cl- secretion
at 1 min, DL-Ins(3,4,5,6)P-4 was not elevated at this time point. EGF
plus carbachol had a greater inhibitory effect on Cl- secretion than e
ither alone, indicating the likely involvement of an additional inhibi
tory pathway activated by EGF. Staurosporine did not alter the ability
of EGF to inhibit Cl- secretion or increase DL-Ins(3,4,5,6)P-4. In co
ntrast, genistein inhibited the rise in DL-Ins(3,4,5,6)P-4 and partial
ly reversed EGF's inhibitory effect on Cl- secretion. In conclusion, E
GF and carbachol can both inhibit Cl- secretion via D-Ins(3,4,5,6)P-4,
whereas EGF also generates an additional inhibitory signal.
