摘要
TGF-β, a potent inducer of the extracellular matrix, is also known to stimulate its own synthesis. In this report we have analyzed long term effects of TGF-β1 on its own expression and on the expression of extracellular matrix genes. We demonstrated that 24 hours of incubation of human dermal fibroblasts with TGF-β1 (1 ng/ml) under serum free conditions resulted in an elevated expression of TGF-β1, collagen α2(I) and fibronectin mRNAs that persisted at least 96 hours after removal of TGF-β1. These data suggest the possibility of persistent in vivo activation of target cells following exposure to TGF-β1. © 1990.
