Epidermal growth factor (EGF) can inducethe proliferation of various target cells by interacting with its specific cell surface receptor (EGF-R). Recent studies showed that the amino acid sequence of EGF-R was strikingly similar to that of erb B transforming protein, the oncogene product of avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV). On the other hand, EGF-R and pp6Osre, the product of src oncogene of Rous sarcoma virus (ESV) are believed to share the homologous amino acid sequence in their tyrosine kinase domains. To elucidate possible participation of certain oncogene in the development of glioma, four different human (KY, KH, KC & 118MG) glioma cell lines were examined for the presence of EGF-R, pp60src and p21ras by flow cytometry using specific monoclonal antibodies. It was foundthat all cell lines tested were positive for either EGF-R or pp60src, or both, but none for p21ras, though the degree of expression varied among cell lines. Furthermore, the expression of these oncogene-related products including EGF-R and pp60src in glioma cells was markedly suppressed by such anti-glioma agents as prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGJ2 and forskolin which could induce cytodifferentiation, whereas a very slight increased expression of EGF-R in KY cells was observed after the treatment with H-7, an inhibitor of protein kinase C. These results suggest that the src oncogene family including erb B might be involved in either the development and growth or dedifferentiation of certain glial tumors.
