Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The family of EGF ligands and the EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling system is crucial for numerous physiological and pathological events. EGF and amphiregulin (AREG) share a common EGFR, but they are capable of inducing distinctly different biological outcomes. Here, we found that EGF and AREG reversibly interconverted two distinct phenotypes of MCF10A. They differed in the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, the mode of cell migration and the ability for acinus-formation. We also found that ligand-switching between EGF and AREG transiently altered the integrated signal strength of the shared EGFR-MEK1-ERK2 pathway, thereby reversing the relative expression levels of a downstream EMT regulator, ZEB1, miR-205 and miR-200c. These results suggest that cognate EGFR ligands sharing the same signaling molecules could reversibly interconvert mammary epithelial cell phenotypes through the control of signal strength.
