Transcytosis of epidermal growth factor. The epidermal growth factor receptor mediates uptake but not transcytosis

Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells polarize and generate distinct apical and basolateral membrane domains when grown on permeable filter supports. Under these conditions, they transcytose fluid-phase markers. Recently, receptor-mediated transcytosis of epidermal growth factor (EGF) across MDCK cells has been reported (Maratos-Flier, E., Kao, C.- Y. Y., Verdin, E. M., and King, G. L. (1987) J. Cell Biol. 105, 1595- 1601). We examined the role of the EGF receptor in this process. Transcytosis of EGF occurred only in the basolateral-to-apical direction, was time-dependent, and inhibited by the addition of unlabeled EGF in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast to previous work, we found that only about 5% of basolaterally bound EGF was transported to the apical chamber. The half-time of transport was 90 min. A mutant cell line of MDCK, MDCKII-RCAr, was used to study the expression of the EGF receptor. Cell surface glycoproteins of these mutant cells can be efficiently labeled with [3H]galactose by exogalactosylation. The EGF receptor was found to be expressed only on the basolateral surface. Addition of EGF to the basolateral medium resulted in rapid internalization and degradation of the receptor. Testing directly for transcytosis of basolateral glycoproteins, we detected several proteins transported across the cell. The EGF receptor, however, was not among this group of proteins. Taking these results together, we suggest the following model. Internalization of EGF on the basolateral surface is mediated by the EGF receptor. EGF dissociates from the receptor in an endocytic compartment. A fraction of the EGF is then diverted nonselectively to the transcytotic pathway, as found for other fluid-phase markers previously (Bomsel, M., Prydz, K., Parton, R. G., Gruenberg, J., and Simons, K. (1989) J. Cell Biol. 109, 3243-3258.
