Retinoic acid (RA) induces the activation of latent transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) via enhancement of cellular plasminogen activator (PA)/plasmin levels. The resultant TGF-b suppresses the excessive fibrinolytic activity by decreasing PA expression an
Melanoma invasion requires migration through the vascular barrier. An early event in this process is the adhesion of metastatic cells to the endothelium. To elucidate the role of TGF- in the regulation of this process, human melanoma SK-MEL24 cells were labelled with [5Ј-3 H]-thymidine and co-cultu
Retinoblastoma cells are resistant to transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) activity due to the absence of TGF-b binding. To further elucidate the mechanism of TGF-b resistance, we studied the expression of the TGF-b receptors and SMADs by using the Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 retinoblastoma cell lines. Bindin
We have characterized a 60-kDa transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) binding protein that was originally identified on LNCaP adenocarcinoma prostate cells by affinity cross-linking of cell surface proteins by using 125 I-TGF-b1. Binding of 125 I-TGF-b1 to the 60-kDa protein was competed by an excess
