Abstract
Tyrphostins, which block protein tyrosine kinase activity, were studied for their inhibitory action on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced proliferation of human bone marrow fibroblasts. Of the seven tyrphostins examined, tyrphostin AG370 was found to be the most potent blocker against PDGF-induced mitogenesis (IC50 = 20 μM). This PTK blocker also blocks mitogenesis induced by epidermal growth factor (IC50 = 50 μM) and human serum (IC50 = 50 μM), but with lower efficacy. In digitonin-permeabilized fibroblasts as well as in intact fibroblasts, tyrphostin AG370 inhibits PDGF receptor autophosphorylation and the tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular protein substrates (pp120, pp85, and pp75) which coprecipitate with the PDGF receptor. In comparison to AG370, AG18, a potent EGF receptor blocker, was less efficient in inhibiting PDGF-induced proliferation of fibroblasts and phosphorylation of the intracellular protein substrates. Under the conditions in which AG370 inhibits PDGF-induced mitogenesis and phosphorylation, it does not affect [125I]PDGF internalization and enhance [125I]-PDGF binding. These findings suggest that AG370, which is an indole tyrphostin, may serve as a model for developing analogues with a therapeutic potential for treatment of diseases which involve abnormal cellular proliferation induced by PDGF.Keywords
