Human squamous cell carcinoma cells (NA cells) possess a large number of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors and their growth is inhibited by EGF. Recently, we isolated a series of variants which escaped EGF-mediated growth inhibition. The variant ER11 cells expressed a decreased level of EGF receptors and grew in an EGF-dependent fashion. Treatment of ER11 cells with EGF resulted in the activation of protein kinase C, which was followed by the enhancement of 80-kDa protein phosphorylation as observed in NA cells. Thus, EGF can activate not only tyrosine kinase but also protein kinase C in both NA and ER11 cells. The EGF-dependent growth stimulation in ER11 cells was inhibited by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Exposure of NA and ER11 cells to TPA for 30 h resulted in the down-regulation of protein kinase C. In these protein kinase C-deficient cells, EGF was able to activate autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor. The EGF-activated EGF receptor kinase phosphorylated numerous cellular proteins even in the protein kinase C-deficient cells. However, there were less tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in ER11 cells than in NA cells. These results suggested that protein kinase C is necessary for the EGF-dependent growth stimulation of ER11 cells and that several tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins commonly observed in both NA and ER11 cells seem essential for cell proliferation.

cell structure and function

Protein kinase C and limited substrates for tyrosine kinase are involved in epidermal growth factor(EGF)-dependent growth of a human squamous cell carcinoma cell variant.
