          Abstract

          The studies on the factors that regulate the biology of the neuroblastoma cell lines may offer important information on the development of tissues and organs that derive from the neural crest. In the present paper we study the action of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on two human neuroblastoma cell lines: SK-N-SH which is composed at least of two cellular phenotypes (neuroblastic and melanocytic/glial cells), and its pure neuroblastic subclone SH-SY5Y. The results show that EGF (10 ng/ml) significantly stimulates the incorporation of [3H]-thymidine in the SK-N-SH cells only in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) (control = 58285 ± 9327 cpm; EGF =75523 ± 4457; p<0.05). Such effect is not observed in the presence of a chemical defined medium, that is, in the absence of FBS (control = 100997 ± 4375; EGF = 95268 ± 4683; NS). In the SH-SY5Y cells the EGF does not modify the incorporation of [3H]thymidine either in the presence of 10% of BFS (control = 113838 ± 6978; EGF = 119434 ± 9441; NS) or in its absence (control = 46197 ± 3335; EGF = 44472 ± 3493; NS). The results here reported suggest that: a) EGF may affect the proliferation of cells derived from a primary human neuroblastoma; b) this is evident by the EGF-induced increase of [3H]-thymidine incorporation in SK-N-SH cells; c) it is required the presence of other growth factors, present in the FBS, for the mitogenic action to be accomplished; d) since the pure neuroblastic SH-SY5Y cell line are refractory to the EGF, the effects observed in SK-N-SH cells probably occur on the melanocytic/glial cell subpopulation.

          Os estudos dos fatores que regulam a biologia das linhas celulares de neuroblastoma podem oferecer importantes informações sobre o desenvolvimento de tecidos e de órgãos que derivam da crista neural. No presente estudo analisamos a ação do fator de crescimento epidérmico (EGF) sobre duas linhas celulares de neuroblastoma humano: a linha SK-N-SH que é constituída de dois fenotipos celulares (neuroblástico e melanocítico/glial), e o seu subclone puro neuroblástico SH-SY5Y. Os resultados mostram que o EGF (10ng/ml) estimula significativamente a incorporação de [3H]-timidina na linha SK-N-SH somente na presença de 5% de soro fetal bovino (SFB) (controle = 58285 ± 9327 cpm; EGF = 75523 ± 4457; p<0,05). Tal efeito não é observado na presença de meio definido químico, isto é, na ausência de SFB (controle = 100997 ± 4375; EGF 95268 ± 4683; NS). Nas células SH-SY5Y o EGF não modificou a incorporação de [3H]-timidina nem na presença de 10% SFB (controle = 113838 ± 6978; EGF=119434 ± 9441; NS), nem na sua ausência (controle = 46197 ± 3335; EGF = 44472 ± 3493; NS). Os resultados aqui apresentados sugerem que: a) o EGF pode interferir na proliferação de células derivadas primariamente de um neuroblastoma humano; b) isso é evidente pelo aumento da incorporação de [3H] timidina pelas células SK-N-SH tratadas com EGF; c) é necessário a presença de outros fatores de crescimento, presentes no SFB, para que exerça esta ação mitógena; d) desde que a linha celular neuroblástica pura é refratária ao EGF, os efeitos descritos nas células SK-N-SH, provavelmente, ocorrem nas subpopulações de células melanocíticas/gliais.

            Increased epidermal growth factor receptor in multidrug-resistant human neuroblastoma cells.

            Multidrug-resistant human neuroblastoma cell lines obtained by selection with vincristine or actinomycin D from two independent clonal lines, SH-SY5Y and MC-IXC, have 3- to 30-fold more cell surface epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors than the drug-sensitive parental cells as indicated by EGF binding assays and immunoprecipitation, affinity-labeling, and phosphorylation studies. Reversion to drug sensitivity in one line was accompanied by a return to the parental level of EGF receptor. SH-EP cells, a clone derived from the same neuroblastoma cell line as SH-SY5Y but which displays melanocyte rather than neuronal lineage markers, also express significantly more EGF receptor than SH-SY5Y cells. By nucleic acid hybridization analysis with a molecularly cloned probe, increased receptor level in multidrug-resistant cells was shown to be the result of higher levels of EGF receptor mRNA in drug-resistant than in drug-sensitive cells. The increased steady state amount of specific RNA did not result from amplification of receptor-encoding genes. A small difference was observed in the electrophoretic mobility under denaturing conditions of EGF receptor immunoprecipitated from drug-resistant and drug-sensitive cells. Quantitative and qualitative modulation of the EGF receptor might reflect alterations in the transformation and/or differentiation phenotype of the resistant cells or might result from unknown selective pressures associated with the development of multidrug resistance.

              Multiple defects of the nerve growth factor receptor in human neuroblastomas.

              Neuroblastoma is a tumor of postganglionic sympathetic origin, and nerve growth factor (NGF) is normally required for the survival and differentiation of sympathetic neuroblasts. Since the biological activity of NGF is mediated by the NGF receptor (NGFR), we hypothesized that defects in the NGF/NGFR pathway may play a role in maintenance of the undifferentiated state of neuroblastomas. To test this hypothesis, we examined the structure of the NGFR at the DNA, RNA, and protein levels in a panel of 10 neuroblastoma cell lines. In addition, we examined the function of the NGFR in these lines by analysis of NGF binding kinetics, as well as by the ability of NGF to induce c-fos expression and neurite outgrowth. Southern blot analysis showed that all 10 cell lines possess apparently normal NGFR genes. Northern blot and ligand binding/immunoprecipitation assays revealed four receptor-positive cell lines (NGP, NLF, SK-N-SH, and LA-N-6), with NGFR mRNA and protein of expected sizes (3.8 kilobases and Mr approximately 75,000, respectively). NGF binding assays and Scatchard analyses were performed on the four NGFR-positive lines. The NGP line possesses only low-affinity receptor (Kd approximately 3.5 x 10(-9)), whereas the other three lines express both low- and high-affinity forms (Kd approximately 10(-9) and Kd approximately 10(-11), respectively). However, none of the 10 lines exhibited a response to NGF treatment as assayed by c-fos mRNA induction and neurite extension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
