Abstract

When wild-type mouse embryo cells are stably transfected with a plasmid constitutively overexpressing the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR), the resulting cells can grow in serum-free medium supplemented solely with EGF. Supplementation with EGF also induces in these cells the transformed phenotype (growth in soft agar). However, when the same EGFR expression plasmid is introduced and overexpressed in cells derived from littermate embryos in which the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptor genes have been disrupted by homologous recombination, the resulting cells are unable to grow or to be transformed by the addition of EGF. Reintroduction into these cells (null for the IGF-I receptor) of a wild-type (but not of a mutant) IGF-I receptor restores EGF-mediated growth and transformation. Our results indicate that at least in mouse embryo fibroblasts, the EGFR requires the presence of a functional IGF-I receptor for its mitogenic and transforming activities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
