Modulation of adipocyte differentiation by tumor necrosis factor and transforming growth factor beta
Cultured TA1 adipocytes treated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) lose intracytoplasmic lipid and, over a period of days, come to resemble their predifferentiated progenitors (preadipocytes). To examine the extent to which this phenotypic reversion represents a return to a less differentiated cell, we examined three major characteristics that distinguish preadipocytes from adipocytes: (a) ...
متن کاملRegulation of myogenic differentiation by type beta transforming growth factor
Type beta transforming growth factor (TGF beta) has been shown to be both a positive and negative regulator of cellular proliferation and differentiation. The effects of TGF beta also are cell-type specific and appear to be modulated by other growth factors. In the present study, we examined the potential of TGF beta for control of myogenic differentiation. In mouse C-2 myoblasts, TGF beta inhi...
متن کاملInhibition of cytotoxic T cell development by transforming growth factor beta and reversal by recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha
The immunoregulatory effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and recombinant murine tumor necrosis factor alpha (rMuTNF-alpha) on CTL generation and activity were examined. The results demonstrate that TGF-beta, in a dose-dependent manner, inhibited CTL generation but not CTL activity. The inhibitory effects were detected only when TGF-beta was added within the first 48 h of the M...
متن کاملInhibition of Mycobacterium bovis BCG-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha secretion in human cells by transforming growth factor beta.
The effect of exogenous transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) on Mycobacterium bovis BCG-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) production by human mononuclear cells was studied. It was found that TNF-alpha production by human cells stimulated with BCG was significantly inhibited by TGF-beta. The specificity of the observed inhibition was demonstrated, since the addition of an ant...
متن کاملTumor-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...
