FGF-2 potentiates HB-EGF mitogenesis on FGF receptor-negative cells (SMC-Delta). SMC X2 (a) or SMC-Delta (b) were grown in DMEM, 4% CS for 7 days in the presence of EGF (2.5 nM), HB-EGF (2.5 nM), FGF-2 (60 nM) or combinations. Cell number was determined by acid phosphatase and is related to the no growth factor control (100%). Measurements (mean ± SE, n = 3) are representative of at least three independent experiments. *Significantly different than “no add”. #Significantly different than FGF-2 alone. @Significantly different than HB-EGF alone.
