## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐beta), a potent cytokine, modulates a wide variety of biological responses. Among its actions, TGF‐beta can augment prostaglandin synthesis in several cell types. Although TGF‐beta alone has no effect on prostaglandin production in Swiss 3T3 cells, w
Lovastatin (LOV), a hydroxy-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMGCoA) reductase competitive inhibitor, blocks epidermal growth factor (EGF)or prostaglandin F , , (PGF,,)-induced mitogenesis in confluent resting Swiss 3T3 cells. This inhibition occurs even in the presence of insulin, which potentiates the a
