Extracts of the Drosophila cell line KCo contain a TGF-beta-like activity. This bioactivity, like mammalian TGF-beta, induces the anchorage-independent growth of rat NRK-49F cells in the presence of EGF, inhibits 3H-thymidine incorporation in the mink epithelial cell line CCL-64 and is acid and heat stable but destroyed by dithiothreitol. On a reverse phase column a single bioactive peak eluted at 37-40% acetonitrile. This TGF-beta-like activity in KCo cells inhibits the growth of the homotypic Drosophila cell line 14-11-23, whereas porcine TGF-beta 1 had no effect.
果蝇细胞系KCo的提取物含有一种类转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)活性。这种生物活性,与哺乳动物的TGF-β一样,在表皮生长因子(EGF)存在的情况下可诱导大鼠NRK-49F细胞的非贴壁依赖性生长,抑制水貂上皮细胞系CCL-64中3H-胸腺嘧啶核苷的掺入,并且对酸和热稳定,但会被二硫苏糖醇破坏。在反相柱上,一个单一的生物活性峰在37 - 40%的乙腈浓度下洗脱。KCo细胞中的这种类TGF-β活性可抑制同型果蝇细胞系14 - 11 - 23的生长,而猪TGF-β1则没有这种作用。
