A complex interrelationship exists between the extracellular matrix and cytokine signaling in articular chondrocytes. We sought to determine whether the extracellular matrix serves as a regulatory component of transforming growth factor-beta1 expression. Bovine articular chondrocytes were isolated a

✦ Synopsis
The effect of pertussis toxin (PT) on transforming growth factor p l (TGF(S1)induced proto-oncogene expression was investigated in AKR-26 fibroblasts. P 1 substantially abolished c-sis and c-myc mKNA expression following TGFPl stiniulation. This inhibitory effect was specific for TCFf3l -stimulated proto-oncogene expression and associated with the ADP-ribosylation of a 41 -kDa substrate. Actinomycin D decay and nuclear run-on experiments demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of PT are a result of decreased transcriptional activation and not to an increased decay of proto-oncogene message. PT did not, however, affect TGFPlstitnulated fibroncctin and collagen mKNA accumulation nor did it have any inhibitory effect on TGFPl -induced morphological transformation. These data indicate that TGFPl -stimulated gene expression is coupled to multiple pathways distinguished by their sensitivity to PT.
