✦ Synopsis


Republic of Germany

Epidermal G,-chalone and transforming growth factor-@ (TGFP), two endogenous inhibitors of epidermal cell proliferation, were compared with regard to several effects on epidermis in vivo and in vitro. Both factors inhibited DNA labeling in a rat tongue epithelial cell line, with similar kinetics and half-maximal effects at approximately 1 pgiml (enriched chalone) and 1 ngiml (TGFP). For primary neonatal mouse keratinocytes, TGFP was found to be a rather strong inhibitor of cell proliferation, whereas chalone showed only a weak effect on cells grown in medium containing 1.2 m M Ca'.' and no effect at all in the presence of 0.06 m M Ca2 + . Vice versa, upon i.p. injection, only chalone was able to inhibit mouse epidermal DNA synthesis in vivo, whereas TGFP had no effect at all. A moderate increase of transglutaminase activity in neonatal primary mouse keratinocytes was induced by both factors at concentrations of about 300 pg TGFP/ml and 10 pg chalone fractioniml. Chalone did not compete with [lL51]TGFP for specific binding sites on primary murine keratinocytes. A polyclonal "chalone antiserum" did not interact with TGFP, and a neutralizing TGFP antibody that inhibited the effect of TGFP on cell proliferation could not block the inhibitory effect of chalone on RTE2 cells. In contrast to TGFP, epidermal G,-chalone did not induce proliferation of NIH-3T3 cells. These results indicate that epidermal G,-chalone and TGFP are two different inhibitors of epidermal cell proliferation.

## Abstract The bioactivity of both bFGF and aFGF in the BALB/MK‐1 cell line has been compared to that of EGF. Our results indicate that, for that cell type, aFGF was far more potent than bFGF in inducing cell proliferation. In the presence of heparin, aFGF was as potent as EGF. In addition, excess
