Abstract

We analyzed the uptake and intracellular distribution of 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor, nerve growth factor, and platelet-derived growth factor in different cell lines that express or do not express the respective surface receptors for these factors. After 1 hr of incubation, all three growth factors were detected in the cytoplasmic fraction and in the nucleus, tightly bound to chromatin. The amount of chromatin-bound growth factors continued to increase during the incubation, and analysis at 48 hr revealed each chromatin-bound labeled growth factor in a nondegraded form. After limited digestion of chromatin with DNase II (10-20% digested sequences), specific release of all three growth factors was detected only after 1 hr of incubation but not after 24 and 48 hr, suggesting that the DNA regions involved in growth factor binding became nuclease-resistant. Binding of labeled epidermal growth factor and nerve growth factor to isolated chromatin was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies specific for the respective growth factor receptor. The data suggest that chromatin binding may represent an important step in the pathway of growth factor action.
