Abstract
The effects of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on cell proliferation of human hepatoma cell lines, PLC/PRF/5 and Mahlavu, were investigated under serum-free conditions. DNA synthesis was strongly inhibited in the PLC/PRF/5 cells by addition of TGF-beta 1 (0.5 to 4.0 ng/ml), but remained unchanged in the Mahlavu cells. Also the expression of c-myc mRNA was suppressed by the addition of TGF-beta 1 in the PLC/PRF/5 cells but not in the Mahlavu cells. These results indicate that TGF-beta 1 might regulate cell growth, in part, by modulating c-myc expression, although there is no direct proof that c-myc expression is really relevant to DNA synthesis mediated by TGF-beta 1.Entities:
