چکیده

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) binding and action were investigated during differentiation of adipocyte precursors freshly isolated from rat inguinal fat-pad cultivated in defined medium. The data presented in this paper indicate that TGF-beta 1 inhibits differentiation of adipocyte precursors with a 50% effective dose of 9 pM. Time course experiments demonstrate that TGF-beta 1 is active only when it is added to the cells while they are still undifferentiated. If added after the cells have started to differentiate, TGF-beta 1 is less active or becomes inactive. 125I-TGF-beta 1 binding studies on adipocyte precursors before and after differentiation indicate a 10-fold decrease in the number of TGF-beta 1 binding sites after the cells have differentiated. Blocking of the differentiation process by treating the cells with fetal bovine serum or with prostaglandin F2 alpha prevented the decrease in the number of TGF-beta 1 receptors, thereby demonstrating that this change in binding was specifically linked to the differentiation process. Experiments cross-linking 125I-TGF-beta 1 to adipocyte precursors showed that 125I-TGF-beta 1 is specifically cross-linked to two bands with molecular weights of 92,000 and 70,000. After differentiation, a decrease in the intensity of the cross-linked bands was observed. These results demonstrate that loss of cell surface TGF-beta 1 binding sites follows differentiation of adipocyte precursors.

Transforming growth factor betas (TGF?s) are one of the most widespread and versatile cytokines. The three mammalian TGF? isoforms, ?1, ?2, and ?3, and their receptors regulate proliferation of neuronal precursors as well as survival and differentiation in neurons of developing and adult nervous system. Functions of TGF?s has a wide spectrum ranging from regulating cell proliferation and differ...

Connective tissue growth factor inhibits adipocyte differentiation.

Adipocyte differentiation is a key process implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance. Its regulation is triggered by a cascade of transcription factors, including the CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma). Growth factors such as transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) are known to inhibit adipocyte d...
