Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is known to inhibit epithelial cell growth by inducing a G1 cell cycle arrest. We have studied the effect of TGF-beta 1 on protein binding to a transcription factor E2F consensus element in extracts from early passage human keratinocytes (HFKs) and a permanent human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). Treatment of these cells with TGF-beta 1 resulted in the formation of a DNA binding complex between the pRb-related protein p130 and E2F. Formation of the E2F-p130 complex correlated with inhibition of cell cycle progression in G1 and suppression of the E2F-regulated cdc2 gene. While p130 mRNA and protein levels were not influenced by TGF-beta 1, the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) towards p130 in vitro was inhibited. The results identify p130 as a downstream target of TGF-beta 1 and a possible mediator of the G1 cell cycle arrest.

D015603 Keratinocytes Epidermal cells which synthesize keratin and undergo characteristic changes as they move upward from the basal layers of the epidermis to the cornified (horny) layer of the skin. Successive stages of differentiation of the keratinocytes forming the epidermal layers are basal cell, spinous or prickle cell, and the granular cell. Keratinocyte
D016203 CDC2 Protein Kinase Phosphoprotein with protein kinase activity that functions in the G2/M phase transition of the CELL CYCLE. It is the catalytic subunit of the MATURATION-PROMOTING FACTOR and complexes with both CYCLIN A and CYCLIN B in mammalian cells. The maximal activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 is achieved when it is fully dephosphorylated.

D016212 Transforming Growth Factor beta A factor synthesized in a wide variety of tissues. It acts synergistically with TGF-alpha in inducing phenotypic transformation and can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor. TGF-beta has a potential role in embryonal development, cellular differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function. TGF-beta is found mostly as homodimer forms of separate gene products TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 or TGF-beta3. Heterodimers composed of TGF-beta1 and 2 (TGF-beta1.2) or of TGF-beta2 and 3 (TGF-beta2.3) have been isolated. The TGF-beta proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins.
