  • Title: Bradykinin blocks the action of EGF, but not PDGF, on fibroblast division.
    Author: Newman EL, Hyldahl L, Larsson O, Engström W, Rees AR.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1989 Jul 17; 251(1-2):225-9. PubMed ID: 2787760.
    Abstract:
    Quiescent fibroblasts derived from human fetal lung can be stimulated to reinitiate DNA synthesis by sequential addition of 3 nM IGF-1 and a low concentration (8 pM) of EGF or by continuous exposure to 10% fetal calf serum or 10 ng/ml PDGF. Bradykinin blocks the IGF-1 and EGF-dependent signals without affecting the response to serum or PDGF. It activates protein kinase C and its anti-mitogenic effect is abolished after this kinase has been down-regulated. Bradykinin has no effect on the binding affinity of the EGF receptor whereas phorbol ester induces its 'transmodulation' to low affinity.
