摘要
In fibroblasts transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) regulates cell proliferation and turnover of macromolecular components of the extracellular matrix. Here, intracellular signaling events in growth-inhibited embryonic rat lung fibroblasts (RFL-6) upon stimulation with TGF-beta 1 were investigated. TGF-beta 1 rapidly induced the activation of c-Raf-1, MEK-1, and MAPK p42 and p44. The activation of this pathway by TGF-beta 1 did not depend on autocrine platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Inhibition of the binding of growth factors to their tyrosine kinase receptors did not affect MAPK activation by TGF-beta 1. Ras activation by TGF-beta 1 was significantly lower compared to the activation by PDGF or bFGF. The intracellular transduction of the TGF-beta 1 signal was completely suppressed by depletion or inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). It is shown that calcium-dependent isoforms of PKC are required for MAPK activation by TGF-beta 1. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
