    • Abstract:
      Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has vital biological impacts on the osteoblasts. However, the knowledge on the cellular properties of EGF/EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) on osteoblasts is scanty. As such, we explored the EGF/EGFR's cell behavior in the osteoblast (MC3T3-E1 cell) using the indirect immunofluorescence assay, Western-blot, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Our findings revealed that EGF could internalize into the cytoplasm under EGFR mediation. Besides, the co-localization analysis demonstrated that caveolin played a critical role in EGFR's endocytosis. We also analyzed the cytoplasmic trafficking pathway of EGF/EGFR in MC3T3-E1 cell. The colocalization analysis showed that EGFR entered into Rab5, Rab4, and Rab9-positive endosomes. More importantly, we found that EGFR could move into the MC3T3-E1 cells' nuclei. Based on this, we investigated the EGFR's nuclear-localized functions, and the results suggested that nuclear-localized EGFR has important biological functions. This work lays a foundation for further study on EGF/EGFR's biological functions on the osteoblasts.
