Background/Aims:Intraluminal epidermal growth factor (EGF) may regulate intestinal growth and function. The ontogeny, localization, and phosphorylation of the EGF receptor in rat small intestine were studied.Methods:EGF-receptor phosphorylation was assayed by antiphosphotyrosine Western blot after EGF administration in vivo and EGF incubation to everted sacs in vitro. EGF-receptor abundance and localization were assayed by Western blot and immunofluorescence using anti-EGF-receptor antibodies.Results:In vivo, orogastric EGF enhanced EGF-receptor phosphorylation in newborn rat jejunum and liver. However, intraluminal EGF had no effect on EGF-receptor phosphorylation in adult intestine or liver. In vitro, mucosal EGF stimulated a fourfold increase in EGF-receptor phosphorylation in suckling jejunum but not in weanling or adult jejunum. In Western blot, EGF-receptor abundance was similar in 22-day-old fetal, 8-day-old suckling, and adult jejunum. In both crypt and villus, EGF-receptor was localized to the basolateral membrane but not to the apical membrane in fetal, suckling, and adult jejunum.Conclusions:Mucosal EGF stimulates EGF-receptor phosphorylation in immature but not in mature intestine. These differences are not explained by EGF-receptor abundance or localization and suggest that the greater mucosal permeability of the immature gut may allow EGF to bind to the EGF-receptor in the basolateral membrane to mediate its effects in suckling rat intestine.
