Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor is a 22-kDa glycoprotein that was originally identified as a secreted product of cultured human macrophages. Although the growth factor mRNA has been identified in various cells and tissues, the tissue distribution of the protein itself has rarely been demonstrated. In this study, the EGF-like growth factor was detected immunohistochemically in a variety of human skin samples by indirect immunofluorescence using a polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against residues 26-41 of mature heparin-binding EGF. The keratinocytes of a variety of epithelium-derived structures demonstrated reproducible, specific staining for the EGF. In normal tissues, this staining was prominent in the basal cells of the epidermis and in the epithelial cells lining epidermal appendages such as hair follicles, sebaceous sweat glands and eccrine sweat glands. In addition, specific staining was detected in skin cancers derived from the basal epithelial cell layer, including basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, with no staining detected in melanoma specimens. Immunoreactive heparin-binding EGF was characteristically associated with the surface of cells. With minor exceptions, the immunoreactive sites are identical to the known EGF receptor distribution in the skin, and suggest that keratinocyte-derived heparin-binding EGF may act in concert with other EGF family members in processes such as skin morphogenesis and wound repair, as well as in the development of skin cancers.

Trichothiodistrophy (TTD), xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), and Cockayne's syndrome (CS) are three distinct human diseases with sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation affected by mutations in genes involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER). Among the many responses of human cells to UV irradiation, both nuclear accumulation of p53, a tumor suppressor protein, and alterations in cell-cycle checkpoints play crucial roles. The purpose of this study was to define the signals transmitted after UV-C-induced DNA damage, which activates p53 accumulation in TTD/XP-D fibroblasts, and compare this with XP-D cell lines that carry different mutations in the same gene, XPD. Our results showed that p53 was rapidly induced in the nuclei of TTD/XP-D and XP-D fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner after UV-C irradiation, as seen in XP-A and CS-A fibroblasts, much lower doses being required for the protein accumulation than in normal human fibroblasts, XP variant cells, and XP-C cells. The kinetics of accumulation of p53 and two effector proteins involved in cell-cycle arrest, WAF1 and GADD45, were also directly related to the repair potential of the cells, as in normal human fibroblasts their levels declined after 24 h, the time required for repair of UV-induced lesions, whereas NER-deficient TTD/XP-D cells showed p53, WAF1, and GADD45 accumulation for over 72 h after irradiation. Our results indicate that p53 accumulation followed by transcriptional activation of genes implicated in growth arrest is triggered in TTD/XP-D cells by the persistence of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, which are known to block transcription, on the transcribed strands of active genes.

A new mouse mutation, recombination-induced mutation 3 (Rim3), arose spontaneously in our mouse facility. This mutation exhibits corneal opacity as well as abnormal skin and hair development resembling rex denuded (Re(den)) and bareskin (Bsk). Large-scale linkage analysis with two kinds of intersubspecific backcrosses revealed that Rim3 is mapped to the distal portion of Chromosome (Chr) 11, in which Re(den) and Bsk have been located, and is very close to the retinoic acid receptor, alpha (Rara). The genes, keratin gene complex-1, acidic, gene 10, 12 (Krt1-10, 12), granulin (Grn), junctional plakoglobin (Jup) and Rara, all of which regulate growth and differentiation of epithelial cells, are genetically excluded as candidate genes for Rim3, but are clustered in the short segment on mouse Chr 11.
