摘要
The expressions of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and its receptor and TGF-beta inhibitory element (TIE)-binding protein were examined on human gastric carcinomas by Northern blot hybridization, immunohistochemistry, affinity labeling and gel retardation analysis. TGF-beta mRNA was expressed in tumor and normal tissues at various levels. Immunohistochemically, TGF-beta expression was confirmed to be present within tumor cells. Out of the 17 human gastric carcinoma tissues, 14 (82%) showed a reduction in the level of type I receptor (65 kDa) for TGF-beta when compared to corresponding normal mucosas. Interestingly, in seven of the 14 tumors the level of TIE-binding protein in the tumor tissue was lower than that in normal mucosa. Human gastric carcinoma cell line TMK-1, whose growth was inhibited by TGF-beta, had only type I receptor for TGF-beta and showed a high level of TIE-binding protein. Conversely, MKN-1, a TGF-beta-resistant cell line, exhibited an extremely low level of TGF-beta receptor and had no TIE-binding protein. These results overall indicate that although human gastric carcinoma cells produced TGF-beta, they showed a reduction in TGF-beta type I receptor and a low level of TIE-binding protein, resulting in escape from growth inhibition by TGF-beta.
