Abstract

Heterologous regulation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was studied in FS4 human skin fibroblasts. The addition of PDGF to FS4 cells inhibited high affinity binding of 125I-EGF and stimulated phosphorylation of the EGF receptor. Phosphopeptide analysis by high performance liquid chromatography revealed that PDGF treatment of cells increased phosphorylation at several distinct sites of the EGF receptor. However, PDGF did not stimulate phosphorylation of threonine 654, a residue previously shown to be phosphorylated when protein kinase C is activated. The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) also stimulated phosphorylation of the same peptides from the EGF receptor as PDGF, and, in addition, induced phosphorylation of threonine 654. TPA inhibited both high and low affinity 125I-EGF binding by these cells. PDGF treatment of cells had no effect on EGF-dependent, tyrosine-specific autophosphorylation of the receptor, whereas TPA treatment was inhibitory. TPA, but not PDGF, stimulated phosphorylation of a Mr = 80,000 protein, known to be a substrate for protein kinase C, even though PDGF appeared to mediate breakdown of phosphoinositides. These data suggest that regulation of EGF receptor function by PDGF and TPA are distinct in these cells, even though some elements of regulation are shared. The results differ from those previously reported for a human lung fibroblast isolate, indicating that cell type-specific differences may exist in metabolism of the EGF receptor.
