Human Platelet-Derived Transforming Growth Factor-β Stimulates Parameters of Bone Growth in Fetal Rat Calvariae*

CENTRELLA, MICHAEL, MASSAGUÉ, JOAN, CANALIS, ERNESTO·1986·Endocrinology

Abstract

Human platelet-derived transforming growth factor type beta (TGF beta) is mitogenic for fetal rat calvariae in serum-free organ culture. It enhances DNA synthesis in short (24-h) and long (48- to 96-h) term cultures, but produces no significant stimulatory effects on bone collagen synthesis or alkaline phosphatase activity (two parameters of differentiated osteoblastic cell-type function) when present continuously in culture. Transitory treatment with TGF beta, however, induces a subsequent stimulation of collagen and noncollagen protein synthesis that depends on prior cell replication, suggesting an increase in the number of newly differentiated bone cells. In addition, TGF beta increases prostaglandin release, but this effect is probably unrelated to its mitogenic function. TGF beta activity is also found in culture medium conditioned by fetal rat calvariae, and the bone-derived factor produces effects similar to those of the human platelet factor. This polypeptide, therefore, may have an important function in early stages of bone development as well as bone repair after trauma-induced platelet degranulation.

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.
