Transforming growth factor-β inhibition of epithelial cell proliferation linked to the expression of a 53-kDa membrane receptor

Open access
Boyd, F T, Massagué, J·1989·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Cells whose proliferation is blocked by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) express three distinct surface glycoproteins of 53, 73, and 300 kDa that bind TGF-beta with high affinity, but whose function is unknown. We have isolated two classes of chemically-induced Mv1Lu epithelial cell mutants resistant to growth inhibition by TGF-beta. Class R mutants have selectively lost expression of the 53-kDa (type I) TGF-beta-binding protein. They have also lost the ability to respond to TGF-beta with elevated fibronectin expression and cell flattening. Class S mutants bind normally but do not respond to TGF-beta. TGF-beta-resistant mutants retain a contact inhibited, nontransformed phenotype. The properties of S mutants suggest that they are defective in the TGF-beta signal transduction mechanism, while the results with R mutants identify the type I TGF-beta-binding protein as the receptor involved in mediating TGF-beta actions on cell adhesion and proliferation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
