Consistent loss of functional transforming growth factor beta receptor expression in murine plasmacytomas.
Murine plasmacytomas are tumors of Ig-secreting plasma cells that can be induced in genetically susceptible BALB/c mice. The deregulation of the c-myc protooncogene is a critical oncogenic event in the development of plasmacytomas (PCTs) although it is not sufficient for their malignant transformation. We have demonstrated that PCTs produce active transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in v...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملCell Linea e Specificity of Expression of the Murine Transforming Growth Factor /3 and Transforming Growth Factor
Abstrad We have cloned a murine transforming growth fador (TGF) complementary (cDNA) from normal tissue by low stringency screening of a testicular cDNA library with a TGFfl1 probe. The coding domain of this TGF$3 cDNA agrees completely with the sequence reported for the TGFfl3 cDNA isolated from the AKR-2B cell line, but the testicular clone uses a distinct and unusual polyadenylation signal r...
متن کاملRepression of platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor expression by mitogenic growth factors and transforming oncogenes in murine 3T3 fibroblasts.
Platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) is an important extracellular factor for regulating the G0-S phase transition of murine BALB/c-3T3 fibroblasts. We have investigated the expression of the PDGF beta receptor (PDGF beta R) in these cells. We show that the state of growth arrest in G0, resulting from serum deprivation, is associated with increased expression of the PDGF beta R. When the...
متن کاملAngiotensin Receptor Regulates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Transforming Growth Factor-/^ Expression
The role of angiotensin II via the angiotensin type 1 or type 2 receptor in the development of cardiac hypertrophy was determined in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to coarctation of the abdominal aorta. Five groups of animals were studied: coarctation, coarctation plus DuP 753, coarctation plus PD 123319, sham plus DuP 753, or sham operation. Type 1 receptor blockade was accomplished ...
