Tumor-suppressive and promoting function of transforming growth factor beta.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is a multifunctional polypeptide. Its role in carcinogenesis can be either suppressive or promoting depending on tumor developmental stages and cellular context. During the early phase of epithelial tumorigenesis, TGFbeta inhibits primary tumor development and growth by inducing cell cycle arrest and possibly apoptosis. However, in late stages of progre...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor enhances type beta 1 transforming growth factor gene expression in osteoblast-like cells
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and type beta transforming growth factor (TGF beta) are potent modulators of proliferation and differentiation in many types of cells. TGF beta acts in an autocrine manner, and the regulation of TGF beta gene expression is one of the crucial events in the control of cellular functions. This study examines FGF regulation of TGF beta 1 gene expression in osteoblast-...
متن کاملAcquisition of anergic and suppressive activities in transforming growth factor-beta-costimulated CD4+CD25- T cells.
Regulatory T (Tr) cells have been shown to arise in the periphery during induction of peripheral tolerance. However, the mechanism involved remains elusive. In the present study, we investigated the potential role of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in the peripheral induction of regulatory phenotypes in the conventional CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells. Upon priming in the presence of TGF-beta, ther...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor counteracts the suppressive effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 on human myeloid progenitor cells.
We have previously shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is mitogenic for human bone marrow stromal cells and enhances myelopoiesis in human long-term bone marrow culture. In the present study, we examined the mechanism by which bFGF enhances granulopoiesis. We observed that bFGF significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on granul...
متن کاملInability of transforming growth factor-beta to cause SnoN degradation leads to resistance to transforming growth factor-beta-induced growth arrest in esophageal cancer cells.
It is well established that loss of a growth inhibitory response to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a common feature of epithelial cancers including esophageal cancer. However, the molecular basis for the abrogation of this key homeostatic mechanism is poorly understood. In esophageal cancer cell lines that are resistant to TGF-beta-induced growth inhibition, TGF-beta also fails t...
