What is a growth factor
Extracellular protein that promotes growth, proliferation, differentiation or survival of cells
1 of 12
Do they acti over long or short distances
Short - they act locally
2 of 12
How do GFs bring about change
cause changes in target cell biology via binding to specific receptors, which often lead to changes in gene expression over a period of hours, or may lead to very rapid alterations in the cell cytoskeleton.
3 of 12
What are the 4 main modes of communication?
Endocrine, Paracrine, neuronal, contact dependent
4 of 12
What are the 4 general ways cells respond to GFs
1 Survive, 2 grow and divide, 3 Differentiate, 4 Die
5 of 12
What are the more specific ways GF function in vivo
1. early development, 2 Tissue differentiation, 3 wound healing, 4, immune responses, 5 Stromal mediators of sex and other hormone
6 of 12
What are the more specific ways GF functions in vitro
1. Proliferation 2. Differentiation 3. Chemo-attraction 4. Chemo-kinesis 5. Trophic action
7 of 12
What is trophic actino
the stimulation of cell reproduction and enlargement by nurturing and causing growth
8 of 12
What is chem-kinesis
The response of a cell to a chemical that causes the cell to make some kind of change in its movement by speeding it up, slowing it down or changing its direction.
9 of 12
What is the slow response to GFs
Extracellular signal binds to receptor this signal is carried to DNA changing gene expression, resulting in altered cell behaviour
10 of 12
what is the fast response to GF
Extracellular signal binds to receptor THIS ACTIVATES INTRACELLULAR SIGNALLING CASCADE this alters protein function and thereroe ctoplasmic machinery changin cell behaviour
11 of 12
After GF receptor is activated what are 3 possible mechanisms of action
1. altered cytoskeleton 2 activated ser/thr kinases 3 activation of translation factors
