Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and TGF share the same plasma membrane receptor. In the present studies in HeLa cells, both EGF and TGF caused MAPK (ERK1/2) activation and expression of the immediate-early gene c-fos. Thyroid hormone (T₄) nongenomically enhanced EGF- and TGF-induced MAPK activation. This T₄ action was duplicated by T₄-agarose and blocked by tetraiodothyroacetic acid, which inhibits binding of T₄ to plasma membranes. TGF-induced MAPK activation was potentiated by 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP) but not 8-chloro-cyclic adenosine monophosphate. TGF, T₄, and 8-Br-cAMP each caused protein kinase A (PKA) II serine phosphorylation, whereas phosphorylation of PKA-II was not seen in cells treated with EGF or 8-chloro-cyclic adenosine monophosphate. In a PKA activity assay, the enzyme was stimulated by T₄, EGF, and TGF; T₄ enhanced the effect of TGF but not that of EGF. T₄, although it potentiated c-fos gene expression in EGF-treated cells, suppressed this effect in cells treated with TGF. Cells exposed to 8-Br-cAMP also inhibited TGF-stimulated c-fos expression. Studies of cell proliferation indicated that T₄ potentiated EGF action but inhibited that effect in TGF-treated cells. The disparate effects of T₄ on actions of EGF and TGF, which share the same cell surface receptor, are mediated by hormone phosphorylation and activation of PKA-II.
