Coexpression of a PDGF-like growth factor and PDGF receptors in a human osteosarcoma cell line: implications for autocrine receptor activation
C Betsholtz et al. Cell. 1984 Dec.
Abstract
The expression of both a PDGF-like growth factor and functional PDGF receptors within a clonal human osteosarcoma cell line (U-2 OS Cl 6) is demonstrated. These molecules are able to interact and induce tyrosine-specific phosphorylation and early actin reorganization in the osteosarcoma cells, effects similar to those that PDGF induces in normal responsive cells. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation with an antiserum against phosphotyrosine revealed that a 115 kd protein was constitutively phosphorylated in U-2 OS Cl 6 cells. A phosphorylated protein of similar apparent molecular weight has been found in human fibroblasts, but only after stimulation with PDGF. These data indicate that the PDGF-receptor-dependent pathway is constitutively activated in this cell line. Extracellularly added PDGF antibodies did not, however, affect the transformed properties or growth rate of U-2 OS Cl 6 cells in vitro. This indicates that autocrine PDGF receptor activation may be insignificant for maintaining the transformed state of this tumor cell line, or that autocrine receptor activation occurs in a compartment where it is inaccessible to extracellularly added antibodies.
