We investigated the role of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in growth regulation of the murine osteoblastic cell line, MC3T3-E1. We detected TGF-beta activity in the conditioned medium of MC3T3-E1 cells and its activity was increased by acid treatment of the bioassay system using CC1 64 cells. Northern blot analysis revealed the expression of TGF-beta 1 precursor messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). MC3T3-E1 cells possessed a single class of high affinity TGF-beta 1 receptor (2.8 x 10(4) sites per cell, Kd = 196 pM). Cross-linking studies revealed three specific TGF-beta receptors with molecular masses of 65, 95 and 280 kDa. Both TGF-beta and epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated [3H]-thymidine incorporation into cells. EGF decreased the number of TGF-beta receptor dose-dependently, and pretreatment of cells with 10 nM EGF attenuated cell growth by TGF-beta. All these data suggested that TGF-beta might be an autocrine growth factor in murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and that EGF might modulate the growth of cells by down-regulating the TGF-beta receptor level.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
