The soluble substances, applied to the scratch-wounded astrocytes, blocked their migration whereas some known wound-associated factors such as transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor in combination with insulin-like growth factor-1 (HB-EGF + IGF-1) stimulated intensive migration with consequent closure of the wound.

Sodium chlorate, which blocks glycosaminoglycan sulfation, reversibly inhibited epidermal growth factor-dependent proliferation by 42%, exogenous amphiregulin-dependent proliferation by 75%, and autocrine growth by 95%; concurrent incubation with 1-100 micrograms/ml heparin partially reversed this inhibition.
