Fig. 1. Effects of IGF-1 and EGF on keratinocyte spreading and rounding. (A) FACS
analysis of expression of IGF-1 receptor (grey line) and EGFR (black line) in
primary human keratinocytes after suspension culture. (B) Stimulation of
keratinocyte spreading by IGF-1. Histograms show size distribution of 200
keratinocytes per sample plated in the presence of 100 ng ml-1
IGF-1 (top), 10 ng ml-1 EGF (middle) or 4 µM cytochalasin D and
100 ng ml-1 IGF-1 (bottom). Grey bars indicate stimulated cells,
black bars unstimulated cells. Left panels show microscopic pictures of
stimulated keratinocytes at equal magnifications. (C) Stimulation of
keratinocyte rounding by EGF. Histograms show size distribution of 200
keratinocytes per sample stimulated with 10 ng ml-1 EGF (top, grey
bars) or 100 ng ml-1 IGF-1 (bottom, grey bars). Black bars in both
histograms indicate unstimulated control cells.
