Abstract
In view of the frequent activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) in gliomas and autocrine hypothesis, we searched for 'EGF-like' factor(s) in cystic fluids (CFs) associated with gliomas. Membranes of A431 cells, which overexpress EGF-R, were used to explore such activity in 20 CFs. In all cases CFs induced inhibition of EGF-R phosphorylation. Biochemical analysis revealed an anti-tyrosine kinase activity which was identified as a 18 kDa proteic factor. Effectiveness at high dilution and anti-proliferative effect on living cells in culture suggest that this factor may be involved in the negative regulation of glial oncogenesis.
