摘要
The effect of TGF-β1 treatment on the level of protein disulfide isomerase(PDI) mRNA in normal and chemically or spontaneously transformed rat liver epithelial cell lines was investigated. TGF-β1 at 1 or 10 ng/ml concentrations did not significantly decrease the mRNA level of PDI at 4 or 24 hours after exposure to TGF-β1, irrespective whether the cell line was sensitive or resistant to the growth-inhibitory effect of TGF-β1 at these concentrations. The results indicate that in normal or neoplastic rat liver epithelial cells, the expression of PDI is unrelated to the growth inhibitory effect of TGF-β1. © 1991.
