MDA-468 human breast cancer cells overexpress the EGFR and exhibit a functional TGFalpha-EGFR autocrine pathway. Loss of EGFR expression following stable transfection with an antisense EGFR cDNA containing plasmid down-regulates type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKAI) expression with acquisition of cell growth resistance to the PKAI inhibitor 8-Cl-cAMP. These results suggest that PKAI expression and function are controlled by a TGFalpha-EGFR autocrine pathway in human breast cancer cells overexpressing the EGFR.
