摘要
We have examined the effect of differentiation on the expression of different members of the transforming growth factor type-beta (TGF-B) family using embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells and early mammalian embryos. We determined that TGF-B activity increases approximately 25-100% when the mouse EC cell line, F9, is induced to differentiate with retinoic acid (RA). Interestingly, the increased TGF-B activity reflects the induction of TGF-B2 secretion following differentiation of both F9 EC cells and the human EC cell line, NT2/D1. Using the technique of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we have verified that differentiation induces the expression of TGF-B2 as well as a distant member of the TGF-B family, Vgr-1. Transcripts for TGF-B2 and Vgr-1 were readily detected in the differentiated cells of F9 and PC-13 but not in their undifferentiated counterparts. Moreover, TGF-B2 mRNA was readily detected in NT2/D1 cells following differentiation. In addition, transcripts for TGF-B2 were detected by RT-PCR in mouse morulae, preimplantation blastocysts and cultured blastocysts. Based on the data presented, it appears that the expression of both TGF-B2 and Vgr-1 is closely associated with the induction of differentiation during early development.
