1. Ethanol treatment caused a 47% decrease in [125I]EGF binding to the membrane preparations of buccal mucosa resulting from the decrease of binding sites rather than the affinity of high affinity receptor. 2. The immunoblot revealed a protein band of 170 kDa in the control sample, while a barely detectable 200 kDa protein was observed in the ethanol-treated sample. 3. Protein kinase assays using [32P]ATP as probe showed an EGF-stimulated phosphorylation band of 170 kDa in the control but not in ethanol-treated sample. 4. Ethanol did not change the basal incorporation of [3H]thymidine and [35S]methionine, but caused a 38% and 57% decrease of EGF-stimulated thymidine and methionine incorporation, respectively. 5. The data suggest that EtOH decreases EGF receptor binding through modification of the receptor molecule, thereby impairing receptor kinase activity and its physiological function.
