Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has broad impacts on an array of diverse cellular functions including cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, migration, and apoptosis. Perturbations of the TGF-β signaling pathways are involved in progression of various tumors. Autophagy is a pivotal response of normal and cancer cells to environmental stresses and is induced by various stimuli. Otherwise, autophagy has an intrinsic function in tumor suppression. Recently, we demonstrated that TGF-β induces autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and mammary carcinoma cells. Autophagy activation by TGF-β is mediated through the Smad and JNK pathways. We show that siRNA-mediated knockdown of autophagy genes suppresses the growth inhibitory function of TGF-β and that autophagy activation potentiates TGF-β-mediated induction of proapoptotic genes, Bim and Bmf, in hepatoma cells. In this context, the autophagy pathway might contribute to the growth inhibitory effect of TGF-β, in conjunction with other anti-proliferative pathways downstream of TGF-β signaling. The context and manner by which the TGF-β signaling pathway regulates autophagy have implications for a better understanding of pathological and bidirectional roles of TGF-β signaling pathways in tumorigenesis. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) can induce G2/M phase-dependent apoptosis and G1/S phase-dependent epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in hepatocytes, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated alterations in the global proteome using two dimensional gel electrophoresis of AML-12 murine hepatocyte cells after treatment with TGF-β at several time points after synchronization in the G2/M or G1/S phase. Upon TGF-β treatment, the expression levels of 44 proteins were found to be significantly changed in cells synchronized in the G2/M phase. These proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF and classified into seven categories according to function. In addition, TGF-β induced downregulation of glutamine synthetase in cells in G2/M but not G1/S phase, and this was further confirmed by immunoblotting. Moreover, exogenous glutamine completely blocked TGF-β-induced apoptosis in G2/M and non-synchronized cells, whereas it had no effect on EMT, suggesting that the downregulation of glutamine synthetase is involved in G2/M phase-dependent apoptosis. These results provide new insight into the mechanism of the multifunctional effects of TGF-β and how apoptosis and EMT are regulated in the same type of cells. 相似文献

The transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signaling pathway progresses through a series of protein phosphorylation regulated steps. Smad4 is a key mediator of the classical TGF‐β signaling pathway; however, reports suggest that TGF‐β can activate other cellular pathways independent of Smad4. By investigating the TGF‐β‐regulated phosphoproteome, we aimed to uncover new functions controlled by TGF‐β. We applied titanium dioxide to enrich phosphopeptides from stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)‐labeled SW480 cells stably expressing Smad4 and profiled them by mass spectrometry. TGF‐β stimulation for 30 min resulted in the induction of 17 phosphopeptides and the repression of 8 from a total of 149 unique phosphopeptides. Proteins previously not known to be phosphorylated by TGF‐β including programmed cell death protein 4, nuclear ubiquitous casein and cyclin‐dependent kinases substrate, hepatoma‐derived growth factor and cell division kinases amongst others were induced following TGF‐β stimulation, while the phosphorylation of TRAF2 and NCK‐interacting protein kinase are examples of proteins whose phosphorylation status was repressed. This phosphoproteomic screen has identified new TGF‐β‐modulated phosphorylation responses in colon carcinoma cells. 相似文献

Znf45l, containing classical C2H2 domains, is a novel member of Zinc finger proteins in zebrafish. In vertebrates, TGF-β signaling plays a critical role in hematopoiesis. Here, we showed that Znf45l is expressed both maternally and zygotically throughout early development. Znf45l-depleted Zebrafish embryos display shorter tails and necrosis with reduced expression of hematopoietic maker genes. Furthermore, we revealed that znf45l locates downstream of TGF-β ligands and maintains normal level of TGF-β receptor type II phosphorylation. In brief, our results indicate that znf45l affects initial hematopoietic development through regulation of TGF-β signaling. [BMB Reports 2014; 47(1): 21-26] 相似文献

Extracellular matrix (ECM) provides both structural support and contextual information to cells within tissues and organs. The combination of biochemical and biomechanical signals from the ECM modulates responses to extracellular signals toward differentiation, proliferation, or apoptosis; alterations in the ECM are necessary for development and remodeling processes, but aberrations in the composition and organization of ECM are associated with disease pathology and can predispose to development of cancer. The primary cell surface sensors of the ECM are the integrins, which provide the physical connection between the ECM and the cytoskeleton and also convey biochemical information about the composition of the ECM. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is an extracellular signaling molecule that is a powerful controller of a variety of cellular functions, and that has been found to induce very different outcomes according to cell type and cellular context. It is becoming clear that ECM-mediated signaling through integrins is reciprocally influenced by TGF-β: integrin expression, activation, and responses are affected by cellular exposure to TGF-β, and TGF-β activation and cellular responses are in turn controlled by signaling from the ECM through integrins. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a physiological process that is activated by TGF-β in normal development and in cancer, is also affected by the composition and structure of the ECM. Here, we will outline how signaling from the ECM controls the contextual response to TGF-β, and how this response is selectively modulated during disease, with an emphasis on recent findings, current challenges, and future opportunities. 相似文献

Osteoarthritis is a common malady of the musculoskeletal system affecting the articular cartilage. The increased frequency
of osteoarthritis with aging indicates the complex etiology of this disease, which includes pathophysiology and joint stability
including biomechanics. The balance between anabolic morphogens and growth factors and catabolic cytokines is at the crux
of the problem of osteoarthritis. One such signal is transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). The impaired TGF-β signaling has
been identified as a culprit in old mice in a recent article in this journal. This commentary places this discovery in the
context of anabolic and catabolic signals and articular cartilage homeostasis in the joint. 相似文献

KDM6B, also known as JMJD3, is a member of the family of histone lysine demethylase (KDMs), which is closely related to many types of cancers. However, its role and the underlying mechanisms in ovarian cancer remain unknown. Here we show that KDM6B is elevated in epithelial ovarian cancer and its expression level is closely related with metastasis and invasion. In addition, survival analysis showed that high expression of KDM6B was associated with low overall survival in ovarian cancer patients. Overexpression of KDM6B in epithelial ovarian cancer cells promoted proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion in vitro, and enhanced metastatic capacities in vivo. On the contrary, silencing KDM6B in invasive and metastatic ovarian cancer cells inhibited these processes. Mechanistically, we found that KDM6B exerts its function by modulating the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression, and TGF-β1 signal pathway inhibitor LY2157299 significantly inhibited KDM6B-induced proliferation, migration, metastasis, and EMT in ovarian cancer cells. Our findings, for the first time, reveal the pivotal role of KDM6B in the invasion and metastatic behavior of epithelial ovarian cancer. Thus, targeting KDM6B may be a useful strategy to interfere with these behaviors of epithelial ovarian cancer. 相似文献

The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway plays an important role in cancer cell proliferation, growth, metastasis, and apoptosis. It has been shown that TGF-β acts as a tumor suppressor in the early stages of the disease, and as a tumor promoter in its late stages. Mutations in the TGF-β signaling components, the TGF-β receptors and cytoplasmic signaling transducers, are frequently observed in colorectal carcinomas. Exploiting specific TGF-β receptor agonist and antagonist with antitumor properties may be a way of controlling cancer progression. This review summarizes the regulatory role of TGF-β signaling in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Immaculate and complete palatal seam disintegration, which takes place at the last phase of palate development, is essential for normal palate development. And in absence of palatal midline epithelial seam (MES) disintegration, cleft palate may arise. It has been established that transforming growth factor (TGF) β induces both epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and/or apoptosis during MES disintegration. It is likely that MES might cease cell cycle to facilitate cellular changes prior to undergoing transformation or apoptosis, which has never been studied before. This study was designed to explore whether TGFβ, which is crucial for palatal MES disintegration, is capable of inducing cell cycle arrest. We studied the effects of TGFβ1 and TGFβ3, potent negative regulators of the cell cycle, on p15ink4b activity in MES cells. We surprisingly found that TGFβ1, but not TGFβ3, plays a major role in activation of the p15ink4b gene. In contrast, following successful cell cycle arrest by TGFβ1, it is TGFβ3 but not TGFβ1 that causes later cellular morphogenesis, such as EMT and apoptosis. Since TGFβ signaling activates Smads, we analyzed the roles of three Smad binding elements (SBEs) on the p15ink4b mouse promoter by site specific mutagenesis and found that these binding sites are functional. The ChIP assay demonstrated that TGFβ1, not TGFβ3, promotes Smad4 binding to two 5' terminal SBEs but not the 3' terminal site. Thus, TGFβ1 and TGFβ3 play separate yet complimentary roles in achieving cell cycle arrest and EMT/apoptosis and cell cycle arrest is a prerequisite for later cellular changes. 相似文献

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a world-wide health problem and its incidence accounts for 1.9–3.5% of all malignant
tumors. Transforming growth factor beta/Smads (TGF-β/Smads) signaling pathway plays an important role in oncogenesis, but
its function and molecular mechanisms in OSCC remain unclear. Expression of transforming growth factor-β receptor type II
(TβRII) and Smad4 was studied by immunohistochemistry in 108 OSCC patients and 10 normal controls. Function and molecular
mechanisms of TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway was then investigated in two human tongue squamous carcinoma cell lines with high
and low metastasis (Tb and Tca8113) by RT-PCR, Western Blot, immunofluorescence, cell growth curve and flow cytometry (FCM),
respectively. TβRII and Smad4 were significantly down-regulated in tumor tissues (with or without lymph node metastasis) compared
to normal oral epithelium tissues (P < 0.05). TGF-β1 induced arrest of the cell cycle rather than cell death in Tca8113 and Tb cells, and this influence was mediated
by the increasing the expression and changing the location of its downstream components of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.
TGF-β1 rapidly increased the expression of p15 and p21 in both Tca8113 and Tb cells. TGF-β1 did not increase p27 expression
in Tca8113 cells, but p27 expression was increased in Tb cells. These indicated that TGF-β1 induced G1 arrest of cell cycle through a different regulating pathway in Tb cells compared with Tca8113 cells. Thus, we conclude that
TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway play a important role on cell growth and metastasis potential in OSCC.

Myostatin (Mstn) is a secreted growth and differentiation factor that belongs to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily. Mstn has been well characterized as a regulator of myogenesis and has been shown to play a critical role in postnatal muscle regeneration. Herein, we report for the first time that Mstn is expressed in both epidermis and dermis of murine and human skin and that Mstn-null mice exhibited delayed skin wound healing attributable to a combination of effects resulting from delayed epidermal reepithelialization and dermal contraction. In epidermis, reduced keratinocyte migration and protracted keratinocyte proliferation were observed, which subsequently led to delayed recovery of epidermal thickness and slower reepithelialization. Furthermore, primary keratinocytes derived from Mstn-null mice displayed reduced migration capacity and increased proliferation rate as assessed through in vitro migration and adhesion assays, as well as bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and Western blot analysis. Moreover, in dermis, both fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transformation and collagen deposition were concomitantly reduced, resulting in a delayed dermal wound contraction. These decreases are due to the inhibition of TGF-β signaling. In agreement, the expression of decorin, a naturally occurring TGF-β suppressor, was elevated in Mstn-null mice; moreover, topical treatment with TGF-β1 protein rescued the impaired skin wound healing observed in Mstn-null mice. These observations highlight the interplay between TGF-β and Mstn signaling pathways, specifically through Mstn regulation of decorin levels during the skin wound healing process. Thus we propose that Mstn agonists might be beneficial for skin wound repair. 相似文献

The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of tendinopathy are not clear, but inflammatory mediators produced by tendon fibroblasts in response to repetitive mechanical loading may be an important factor for this illness. In this study, we explored the effect of cyclic mechanical stretching on collagen synthesis and apoptosis of human patellar tendon fibroblasts (HPTFs). The role of a candidate inflammatory mediator, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), which we identified in a cytokine antibody array, in collagen synthesis and apoptosis during repetitive mechanical stretching was also investigated. Our results showed that there was a significant increase in collagen type I synthesis at 4% and 8% stretch. Significantly, enhancement of apoptosis may account for the observed decrease in fibroblast numbers after 8% stretching. Furthermore, the exogenous addition of an anti-TGFβ1 antibody or gene silencing by si-TGFβ1 eliminated the increase in collagen type I production and activities of caspases during apoptosis under cyclic uniaxial stretching conditions. These results suggest that TGFβ1 may take part in the increase of cellular production of collagen type I and apoptosis during the development of tendinopathy. Furthermore, caspase 8 mediates activation of caspase 3 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage during TGFβ1-induced apoptosis in stretching HPTFs. 相似文献

Cells regulate phospholipase D(PLD) activity in response to numerous extracellular signals.Here,we investigated the involvement of PLD activity in transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β1)-mediated growth inhibition of epithelial cells.TGF-β1)-mediated growth inhibition of epithelial cells.TGF-β1 inhibits the growth of MDCK,Mv1Lu,and A-549 cells.In the presence of 0.4% butanol,TGF-β1 induces an increase in the formation of phosphatidylbutanol,a unique product catalyzed by PLD.TGF-β1 also induces an increase in phosphatidic acid (PA) level in A-549 and MDCK cells.TGF-β1 induces an increase in the levels of DAG labeled with [^3H]-myristic acid in A-549 and MDCK cells but not in Mv1Lu cells.No increase of DAG was observed in cells prelabeled with [^3H]-arachidonic acid.The data presented suggest that PLD activation is involved in the TGF-β1-induced cell growth inhibition. 相似文献

Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process regulating turnover of cytoplasmic proteins via a lysosome-dependent pathway. Here we show that kidneys from mice deficient in autophagic protein Beclin 1 exhibited profibrotic phenotype, with increased collagen deposition. Reduced Beclin 1 expression, through genetic disruption of beclin 1 or knockdown by specific siRNA in primary mouse mesangial cells (MMC), resulted in increased protein levels of type I collagen (Col-I). Inhibition of autolysosomal protein degradation by bafilomycin A(1) also increased Col-I protein levels and colocalization of Col-I with LC3, an autophagy marker, or LAMP-1, a lysosome marker, whereas treatment with TFP, an inducer of autophagy, resulted in decreased Col-I protein levels induced by TGF-β1, without alterations in Col-I α1 mRNA. Heterozygous deletion of beclin 1 increased accumulation of aggregated Col-I under nonstimulated conditions, and stimulation with TGF-β1 further increased aggregated Col-I. These data indicate that Col-I and aggregated, insoluble procollagen I undergo intracellular degradation via autophagy. A cytoprotective role of autophagy is implicated in kidney injury, and we demonstrate that low-dose carbon monoxide, shown to exert cytoprotection against renal fibrosis, induces autophagy to suppress accumulation of Col-I induced by TGF-β1. We also show that TGF-β1 induces autophagy in MMC via TAK1-MKK3-p38 signaling pathway. The dual functions of TGF-β1, as both an inducer of Col-I synthesis and an inducer of autophagy and Col-I degradation, underscore the multifunctional nature of TGF-β1. Our findings suggest a novel role of autophagy as a cytoprotective mechanism to negatively regulate and prevent excess collagen accumulation in the kidney. 相似文献
