Induction of c-sis mRNA and Activity Similar to Platelet-Derived Growth Factor by Transforming Growth Factor β : A Proposed Model for Indirect Mitogenesis Involving Autocrine Activity

Treatment of quiescent cultures of mouse embryo-derived AKR-2B cells with transforming growth factor β resulted in an early induction of c-sis mRNA. The increase in c-sis mRNA was followed by a corresponding increase in protein similar to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the culture medium....

Zusammenfassung:Treatment of quiescent cultures of mouse embryo-derived AKR-2B cells with transforming growth factor β resulted in an early induction of c-sis mRNA. The increase in c-sis mRNA was followed by a corresponding increase in protein similar to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the culture medium. In addition, PDGF-regulated genes (c-fos and c-myc) were stimulated by transforming growth factor β with delayed kinetics relative to that seen in other cell systems with direct PDGF stimulation. A model is proposed in which the monolayer mitogenicity of transforming growth factor β is mediated by the induction of c-sis and PDGF and the subsequent autocrine stimulation of c-fos, c-myc, and other PDGF-inducible genes.
