## Abstract Human osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma cell lines were investigated for alterations in oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and growth factors, all of which have been implicated in tumor formation. Characterization of oncogenes that are involved in osteosarcoma formation, including the __cβf

a,-Macroglobulin ( a 2 M ) is known as an inhibitor of various proteinases and to bind several of the growth factors. W e previously demonstrated that clonal variation exists in the production of a,M in a human melanoma and that this variation may be associated with growth stimulation. We have now a
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
