Abstract

NRG-3 in human breast cancers: activation of multiple erbB family proteins.

International journal of oncology, 1998; PubMed, Homo sapiens NRG3 — Homo sapiens EGFR
ABSTRACT: Ligands of the EGF/Heregulin family control the growth of epithelial cells by binding to receptors of the erbB family. By searching a large database of cDNA sequences at Human Genome Sciences Inc. we have identified a new encoded protein sequence containing all the conserved elements of the EGF/Heregulin family. The same sequence has recently been independently identified as NRG-3. The EGF-like domain of NRG-3 was generated as a recombinant protein in E. coli and used to test the specificity of receptor binding. In human breast cancer cells and in 32D cells transfected by erbB family members, NRG-3 activated multiple erbB family members. These include EGF receptor (erbB1) and erbB4 when expressed individually and erbB2 and erbB3 when expressed together. Recombinant NRG-3 altered the growth of human breast cancer cells growing in vitro. NRG-3 was expressed in cell lines derived from breast cancer. These results indicate that NRG-3 is a potential regulator of normal and malignant breast epithelial cells in vivo.
