Transforming growth factor-alpha acts as an autocrine growth factor in ovarian carcinoma cell lines.
The potential of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) to function as an autocrine growth factor was evaluated in numerous ovarian carcinoma cell lines. All 17 lines which were examined expressed the epidermal growth factor receptor and 16 cell lines, in addition, concomitantly secreted TGF-alpha. Radioimmunoassay of processed serum-free-conditioned medium indicated TGF-alpha concentrati...
متن کاملTRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR β2 UP-REGULATES GM-CSF GENE IN HUMAN BLADDER CARCINOMA CELL LINE HTB 5637
Transforming growth factor betas are multifunctional polypeptides in the cytokine superfamily. They have a growth inhibitory role on hemopoietic progenitor cells in semisolid colony assay as well as in long-term bone-marrow culture. TGF - β2 represses stromal cells, stem cell factor gene transcription, and decreases the stability of c-kit transcripts in hemopoietic cells. TGF-β also modulat...
متن کاملProliferation of the human colon carcinoma cell line HT29: autocrine growth and deregulated expression of the c-myc oncogene.
Human colon adenocarcinoma cell (line HT29) are able to proliferate in a defined (serum-free) medium containing no added growth factors; in such conditions, their doubling time is 3 to 4 days (on serum-coated dishes) or 2 to 3 days (on an autologous extracellular matrix) compared with 1 day in the presence of fetal calf serum. In the presence of suramin, a polyanion disrupting the binding of gr...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of human colon carcinoma cells by combinations of anti-epidermal growth factor-related growth factor antisense oligonucleotides.
GEO is a well-differentiated colon cancer cell line that coexpresses the epidermal growth factor-like growth factors CRIPTO (CR), amphiregulin (AR), and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha). Antisense 20-mer phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (AS S-oligos) directed against CR, AR, and TGF-alpha mRNAs were equipotent in their ability to inhibit both the anchorage-dependent growth and...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha characteristics of human oral carcinoma cell lines.
This study examined the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) cell-surface receptors, the response to exogenous ligand and the autocrine production of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) in normal and carcinoma-derived human oral keratinocytes. One of eight malignant cell lines overexpressed EGF receptors, while the remainder expressed receptor numbers similar to normal cells. Ex...
