Background/Aims: To understand the mechanisms of liver regeneration or hepatoma apoptosis, it is important to estimate the turning point of the signal transduction by growth factor receptor, Since 2 (2-hydroxyethylsulfaryl) 3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone or CPD 5 has been shown to mediate the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor -(EGF) receptor in Hep3B hepatoma cells, the differences between EGF and CPD 5-mediated signal transduction were studied.Methods: DNA content was measured by Hoechst fluorescent assay. Phosphorylated proteins were described with Western blots or two-dimensional electrophoresis,Results: CPD 5-induced EGFR phosphorylation was functional to stimulate Ras pathway. However, CPD 5-mediated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation was not antagonized by inhibition of upstream activation with PD153035. CPD 5 inhibited ERK dephosphorylation in cell lysate, suggesting that ERK phosphorylation by CPD 5 was depending on kinase activity and phosphatase inhibition. Two-dimensional electrophoresis showed extra phospho ERK spot, which was indicated to have close association with CPD 5-induced growth inhibition, since U0126 antagonized growth inhibition and appearance of this spot.Conclusions: The turning point of EGFR pathway was proved to have close association with the expressed level of phosphorylated ERK. ERK phosphorylation was suggested to play a critical role in growth factor-induced signal transduction, (C) 2001 European Association for the Study of the Liver.
