Abstract

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is a potent growth inhibitor for many cell types, including most epithelial cells. However, the mechanism of growth inhibition is unknown. In skin keratinocytes, TGF-beta 1 has been shown to inhibit growth and to rapidly reduce c-myc expression. It has been demonstrated that protein synthesis is required for TGF-beta 1 regulation of c-myc in keratinocytes. Here we present evidence that treatment of mouse BALB/MK keratinocyte cells with either antisense c-myc oligonucleotides or TGF-beta 1 inhibited cell entry into S phase. These results suggest that TGF-beta inhibition of c-myc expression may be essential for growth inhibition by TGF-beta 1. The block in c-myc expression by TGF-beta 1 occurred at the level of transcriptional initiation. Studies with a series of 5' deletion c-myc/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase constructs indicated that a cis regulatory element(s), which resides between positions -100 and +71 relative to P1 transcription start site, is responsible for the TGF-beta 1 responsiveness. Based on these data, it is proposed that the mechanism of TGF-beta 1 growth inhibition involves synthesis or modification of a protein that may interact with a specific element(s) in the 5' regulatory region of the c-myc gene, resulting in inhibition of transcriptional initiation.

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.
