Abstract

Inhibition of cell growth by type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) occurs in mid-G1 and is associated with decreased G1 cyclin-dependent kinase activity and maintenance of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein Rb in an underphosphorylated, growth-suppressive state. A variety of recent experiments suggest that a functional target of Rb is the E2F transcription factor. In addition, the growth-suppressive effects of TGF-beta can be overcome by expression of viral oncogene products that dissociate E2F from Rb and Rb-related polypeptides. These results suggest the possibility that control of E2F may be a downstream event of TGF-beta action. Consistent with that possibility is the observation that E2F1 RNA levels are drastically reduced in TGF-beta-treated cells. We have also used a recombinant adenovirus containing the human E2F1 gene to overexpress the E2F1 product in mink lung epithelial cells that were growth arrested with TGF-beta. We find that overexpression of E2F1 can overcome the TGF-beta-mediated effect as measured by the activation of cellular DNA synthesis. These results suggest that a likely downstream target for the cyclin-dependent kinases, which are controlled by TGF-beta, is the activation of E2F.

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.
