This study was conducted to investigate the effect of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on the proliferation of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs). DNA synthesis, measured by the incorporation of [3H] thymidine, and the cell number of monolayered SMCs were measured after incubation with TGF-beta (1-100 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of epidermal growth factor (EGF; 100 ng/ml). TGF-beta alone did not affect DNA synthesis of SMCs. EGF significantly increased both DNA synthesis and cell number, while TGF-beta inhibited the increase in both in a dose-dependent manner without accompanying the significant cellular damage. These results indicate that TGF-beta exerts an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of cultured SMCs provoked by EGF.

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.

D015291 Transforming Growth Factors Hormonally active polypeptides that can induce the transformed phenotype when added to normal, non-transformed cells. They have been found in culture fluids from retrovirally transformed cells and in tumor-derived cells as well as in non-neoplastic sources. Their transforming activities are due to the simultaneous action of two otherwise unrelated factors, TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR ALPHA and TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA.
