Regulation of PTP1D mRNA by Peptide Growth Factors in the Human Endometrial Cell Line HEC-1-A
1997
Objective: To assess, in the human endometrial cell line HEC-1-A, the presence of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1D (PTDP1D) and the possible regulation of its mRNA expression by mitogens such as forskolin (an agent that increases intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate [cAMP] levels), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I).Methods: Cells were grown to confluence and maintained in serum-free media for 24 hours before treatment. Cells were exposed to forskolin, EGF, and IGF-I for increasing time periods (0, 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours), and PTP1D mRNA expression was determined by Northern blot analysis. In addition, cells were incubated with increasing doses of forskolin (final concentrations: 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 μmol/L0 for 6 hours.Results: When treated with the various mitogens, cells increased their stimulation of PTP1D mRNA expression in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Specifically, forskolin, EGF, and IGF-I induced maximal mRNA expression at 6, 3, and 6 hours, respec...
