Abstract

Although transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-beta s) inhibit epithelial cell proliferation, these same substances stimulate cell proliferation of fibroblasts. In order to elucidate the mechanism of stimulatory activity of TGF-beta on fibroblast, the present study was performed to determine whether TGF-beta might be an indirect mitogen acting through induction of an endogenous growth factor(s) that then acts as the direct mitogen in an autocrine manner in corneal stromal fibroblasts (CSFs). Cell proliferation was determined either by counting cell numbers or by analyzing the incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA. The synthesis of TGF-beta, TGF-beta receptors, FGF-2 and p27 was analyzed by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 2, and TGF-beta 3 significantly stimulated cell proliferation of CSFs in a dose-dependent manner. The medium conditioned by CSFs and subsequently activated by acid-inhibited cell proliferation of corneal endothelial cells by 40%. When the acid-activated media conditioned by CSFs were immunoprecipitated with either combined anti-TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 antibodies or anti-TGF-beta 3 antibody, all three TGF-beta s, with an apparent molecular size of 25 kDa, were detected, whereas ...Continue Reading
