Abstract
In Mv1Lu cells, insulin partially reverses transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) growth inhibition in the presence of alpha5beta1 integrin antagonists. TGF-beta1 appears to induce phosphorylation of IRS-2 in these cells; this is inhibited by a TGF-beta antagonist known to reverse TGF-beta growth inhibition. Stable transfection of 32D myeloid cells (which lack endogenous IRS proteins and are insensitive to growth inhibition by TGF-beta1) with IRS-1 or IRS-2 cDNA confers sensitivity to growth inhibition by TGF-beta1; this IRS-mediated growth inhibition can be partially reversed by insulin in 32D cells stably expressing IRS-2 and the insulin receptor (IR). These results suggest that growth inhibition by TGF-beta1 involves IRS proteins.Entities:
