Studies on osteosarcoma cell lines point to the potential importance of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) as an autocrine factor which controls the growth of human osteosarcomas. To define further the role of TGF beta isoforms in these neoplasms, a series of 27 osteosarcomas was studied usi

It has been suggested that an important step in the progression of some epithelial tumours is the loss of responsiveness to the growth-inhibitory effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta). Here we describe the use of a model of thyroid tumorigenesis to investigate this question. Seven gen
A panel of 6 human glioma cell lines was examined for TGF-1 responsiveness. U-178 MG and U-251 MG AgCl1 were significantly inhibited by TGF-1, while U-343 MGa 31L and U-343 MGa 35L were potently stimulated to proliferate. TGF-1 induced endogenous PAI-1 protein synthesis, Smad binding element/(CAG
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) exerts an inhibitory effect on the growth of most epithelial cell types, and the loss of responsiveness to this growth inhibition has been implicated in the development of a variety of human cancers. The genetic alteration of TGF-beta receptors is known to
Regeneration involves a number of cellular processes: revascularisation, invasion by haemopoietic cells, removal of necrotic tissue and finally reformation of the tissues. These processes have been extensively studied in vitro and are known to be affected by various growth factors. However, it has p
Cultured human melanoma cells were found to secrete TGF-P mostly in latent biologically inactive form but in addition five of six melanoma cell lines studied produced in conditioned culture medium active TGF-p in the range from 370 to 61 0 pg per 1 O6 cells per 24 h. A distinct characteristic of the
