Enhanced production and extracellular deposition of the endothelial- type plasminogen activator inhibitor in cultured human lung fibroblasts by transforming growth factor-beta
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cultured human embryonic lung fibroblasts were used as a model to study the effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) on the plasminogen activator (PA) activity released by nontumorigenic cells into the culture medium. The cells were exposed to TGF beta under serum-free conditions, and the changes in PA activity and protein metabolism were analyzed by caseinolysis-in-agar assays, zymography, and polypeptide analysis. Treatment of the cells with TGF beta caused a significant decrease in the PA activity of the culture medium as analyzed by the caseinolysis-in-agar assays. The quantitatively most prominent effect of TGF beta on confluent cultures of cells was the induction of an Mr 47,000 protein, as detected by metabolic labeling. The Mr 47,000 protein was a PA inhibitor as judged by reverse zymography. It was antigenically related to a PA inhibitor secreted by HT-1080 tumor cells as demonstrated with monoclonal antibodies. The induced Mr 47,000 inhibitor was deposited into the growth substratum of the cells, as detected by metabolic labeling, immunoblotting analysis, and reverse zymography assays of extracellular matrix preparations. TGF beta also decreased the amounts of urokinase-type and tissue-type PAs accumulated in the conditioned medium, as detected by zymography. Epidermal growth factor antagonized the inhibitory effects of TGF beta by enhancing the amounts of the PAs. These results indicate that growth factors modulate the proteolytic balance of cultured cells by altering the amounts of PAs and their inhibitors.

متن کاملRegulation of the synthesis and activity of urokinase plasminogen activator in A549 human lung carcinoma cells by transforming growth factor-beta
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) is a regulator of cellular proliferation which can alter the proteolytic activity of cultured cells by enhancing the secretion of endothelial type plasminogen activator inhibitor and affecting the secretion of plasminogen activators (PAs) in cultured fibroblastic cells. We used the TGF beta-responsive malignant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 ...
متن کاملThe opposing effects of basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor beta on the regulation of plasminogen activator activity in capillary endothelial cells
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a potent inducer of angiogenesis in vivo, stimulates the production of both urokinase- and tissue-type plasminogen activators (PAs) in cultured bovine capillary endothelial cells. The observed increase in proteolytic activity induced by bFGF was effectively diminished by picogram amounts of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta), but could not be aboli...

Basic fibroblast growth factor, a potent angiogenesis inducer, stimulates urokinase (uPA) production by vascular endothelial cells. In both basic fibroblast growth factor-stimulated and -nonstimulated bovine capillary endothelial and human umbilical vein endothelial cells single-chain uPA binding is mediated by a membrane protein with a Mr of 42,000. Exposure of bovine capillary or endothelial ...

Tightly controlled proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix by invading microvascular endothelial cells is believed to be a necessary component of the angiogenic process. We have previously demonstrated the induction of plasminogen activators (PAs) in bovine microvascular endothelial (BME) cells by three agents that induce angiogenesis in vitro: basic FGF (bFGF), PMA, and sodium orth...
