TRANSFORMING 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 کاملEffect of different concentrations of leukemia inhibitory factor on gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A in trophoblast Tumor Cell Line
Background: Several studies have shown that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is one of the most important cytokinesparticipating in the process of embryo implantation and pregnancy, while, the role of this factor on vascular endothelialfactor-A (VEGF-A), as one of the most important angiogenic factor, has not been fully investigated yet. The aimof this study was to evaluate th...
متن کاملInducible Expression of Transforming Growth Factor
Transforming growth factor 1 (TGF1) acts as a tumor suppressor at early stages of carcinogenesis, however, it has also been suggested to promote tumor progression at late stages. To determine at which stage and by what mechanisms this functional switch occurs, we have generated gene-switch-TGF1 mice in which TGF1 transgene expression can be induced in skin tumors at specific stages. These mice ...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor fi and Cell Cycle Regulation'
In many cases tumor cells develop when normal progenitor cells lose control of signaling pathways that regulate responses to soluble growth factors. These signaling pathways consist of the molecular machinery that regulates cell cycle progression primarily during the first gap phase (G1) of the cell cycle. Whereas growth factors such as epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor...
متن کاملGrowth Regulation of A431 Cells MODULATION OF EXPRESSION OF TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR-a mRNA
To explore bidirectional regulatory interactions between interferons and autocrine polypeptide factors, we examined the modulation of expression of transforming growth factor-a and 2’,5’-oligoadenylate synthetase activity in A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells after treatment with interferon-y and transforming growth factor-a. Treatment of A431 cells with interferon-y increased steady state levels ...
