This study describes the preliminary characterization of a Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-transformed rat cerebral microvascular endothelial cell (RCE-T1)-derived growth factor with biological properties similar to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). A significant portion of this RCE-T1-derived TGF-beta-like growth factor was secreted in an active form and its secretion was elevated 2- to 3-fold in late passage cultures comprised of rapidly growing, less differentiated cells exhibiting reduced sensitivity to the growth-inhibitory effects of exogenous TGF-beta 1. These data suggest that the RCE-T1 cell line may be a useful system in which to study the role of autocrine TGF-beta production in normal and aberrant endothelial cell growth.
本研究描述了一种源自劳氏肉瘤病毒(RSV)转化的大鼠脑微血管内皮细胞(RCE-T1)的生长因子的初步特性,该生长因子具有与转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)相似的生物学特性。这种源自RCE-T1的TGF-β样生长因子的很大一部分以活性形式分泌,并且在由快速生长、分化程度较低的细胞组成的传代后期培养物中,其分泌量提高了2至3倍,这些细胞对外源TGF-β1的生长抑制作用敏感性降低。这些数据表明,RCE-T1细胞系可能是一个有用的系统,可用于研究自分泌TGF-β产生在正常和异常内皮细胞生长中的作用。
