EGF induces recycling membrane to form ruffles

Abstract

KB cells are know to respond to epidermal growth factor (EGF) by producing prodigious ruffles in the plasma membrane within minutes. The signal transduction pathway underlying this effect in fibroblasts is mediated through Rac, a member of the Ras-like family of GTPases. As ruffles are rich in components of the cytoskeleton--particularly in actin and ezrin--it has been suggested that ruffles arise when activated Rac modulates the actin cytoskeleton to push out a membrane protrusion. We set out to see whether the surface of new ruffles arises from neighbouring membrane, or whether it comes from an intracellular pool of endocytosed membrane. If it arose by exocytosis from endosomes, it would be expected to be enriched in those recycling receptors that are concentrated in coated pits in the endocytic side of the cycle. On the other hand, if it arose passively from the adjacent plasma membrane, a uniform distribution of these receptors would be expected. Here, we show that as soon as ruffles appear on KB cells in response to EGF, their membrane surfaces are enriched in both transferrin and low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. Both these proteins are known to be selectively concentrated into endosomal membranes by clathrin-media...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
