Role of thrombin in the proliferative response of T-47D mammary tumor cells. Mitogenic action and pleiotropic modifications induced together with epidermal growth factor and insulin
The growth of the human metastatic cell line (T-47D) in a chemically defined medium (DM) is shown to be dependent on the presence of three traditional growth factors: epidermal growth factor, insulin, and transferrin. The addition of thrombin further stimulates its growth. The mitogenic action on a...

The growth of the human metastatic cell line (T-47D) in a chemically defined medium (DM) is shown to be dependent on the presence of three traditional growth factors: epidermal growth factor, insulin, and transferrin. The addition of thrombin further stimulates its growth. The mitogenic action on a human mammary tumor cell line from epithelial origin is a novel action of thrombin. Cells in the DM show striking morphological changes which are dramatically enhanced by the addition of thrombin. These observations are part of a pleiotropic response to the growth factors: the protein content of the cells increases in the defined medium; the 2DG gels of the 35S- and 32P-labeled proteins show important changes in spots, several of which are probably of cytoskeletal origin.
