Resumen: | Ehrlich ascites tumor cells incorporate [methyl-3H]thymidine into DNA independently of exogenous growth factors or fetal calf serum. Using an acid/ethanol extraction procedure we have obtained from these tumor cells a fraction that induces both the proliferation and the formation of cell foci by Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts in the presence of insulin; inhibits the proliferation of Mv1Lu mink lung epithelial cells; and stimulates the growth of NRK rat kidney fibroblasts in soft-agar in the presence of epidermal growth factor. An antibody against transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) prevents both the tumor extract-induced proliferation of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts and the tumor extract-induced proliferative arrest of Mv1Lu cells. The tumor cells secrete a TGFβ-like activity to the extracellular medium in a partially-activated form. However, authentic TGFβ does not affect their proliferation, and no TGFβ receptors were detected using [125I]TGFβ as a ligand. Therefore, the absence of TGFβ receptors with ligand-binding capacity in these tumor cells may bypass the negative control that this factor exerts on the proliferation of their normal cell counterparts. |
