Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is a potent inhibitor of epithelial cell growth. Cyclins E and A in association with Cdk2 have been shown to play a role in the G1-to-S phase transition in mammalian cells. We have studied the effects of TGF-beta-mediated growth arrest on G1/S cyclins E and A. Inhibition of cyclin A-associated kinase by TGF-beta is primarily due to a decrease in cyclin A mRNA and protein. By contrast, while TGF-beta inhibits accumulation of cyclin E mRNA, the reduction in cyclin E protein is minimal. Instead, we find that the activation of cyclin E-associated kinase that normally accompanies the G1-to-S phase transition is inhibited. A novel inhibitor of cyclin-Cdk complexes was detected in TGF-beta-treated cell lysates. Inhibition is mediated by a heat-stable protein that targets both Cdk2 and Cdc2 kinases. In G0-arrested cells, a similar inhibitor of Cdk2 kinase was detected. These data suggest the existence of an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases induced under different conditions to mediate antiproliferative responses.

Expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which inhibits the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors, was investigated simultaneously with cell cycle characteristics in 63 bone marrow biopsies from 23 cases with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was administered to every patient (17 newly diagnosed) for determination of the labeling index (LI) and the durations of S-phase (Ts) and the cell cycle (Tc) of leukemic promyelocytes. APL cases had lower LI both in the bone marrow aspirate (6.1% v 11.4%, P = .008) and biopsy (21.1% v 28.0%, P = .001) and longer Tc (93.6 hours v 56.0 hours, P = .002) when compared with other French-American-British subtypes. TGF-beta expression (detected by a monoclonal anti-TGF-beta 2/beta 3 antibody) was dramatically high, especially in interstitial areas of the biopsies. S-phase cells were found as geographically restricted islands of proliferation (GRIPs) in 20 of 22 cases. Weekly biopsies showed an increment in TGF-beta on day 7 of therapy in 13 of 17 cases, while in vivo differentiation was noted in 9 of 15. We conclude that the presence of high TGF-beta expression may explain the biologic basis for the slowly cycling nature of leukemic promyelocytes in APL as well as the unique clustering of S- phase cells observed in GRIPs.

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) is a potent inhibitor of epithelial cell proliferation. We present data which indicate that epithelial cell proliferation is inhibited when TGF beta 1 is added throughout the prereplicative G1 phase. Cultures become reversibly blocked in late G1 at the G1/S-phase boundary. The inhibitory effects of TGF beta 1 on cell growth occur in the presence of the RNA synthesis inhibitor 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole. Associated with this inhibitory effect is a decrease in the phosphorylation and histone H1 kinase activity of the p34cdc2 protein kinase. These data suggest that TGF beta 1 growth inhibition in epithelial cells involves the regulation of p34cdc2 activity at the G1/S transition.

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a secreted polypeptide factor that is thought to play a major role in the regulation of proliferation of many cell types and various differentiation processes. Several related isoforms have been structurally characterized, three of which, TGF-beta 1, -beta 2, and -beta 3, have been detected in mammalian cells and tissues. Each TGF-beta form is a homodimer of a 112-amino-acid polypeptide which is encoded as a larger polypeptide precursor. We have introduced several mutations in the TGF-beta 1 precursor domain, resulting in an inhibition of TGF-beta 1 secretion. Coexpression of these mutants with wild-type TGF-beta 1, -beta 2, and -beta 3 results in a competitive and specific inhibition of the secretion of different TFG-beta forms, indicating that these mutated versions act as dominant negative mutants for TGF-beta secretion. Overexpression of dominant negative mutants can thus be used to abolish endogenous secretion of TGF-beta and structurally related family members, both in vitro and in vivo, and to probe in this way the physiological functions of the members of the TGF-beta superfamily.

Analyses of cDNA clones coding for simian type 1 transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta 1) suggest that there are three potential sites for N-linked glycosylation located in the amino terminus of the precursor region. Analysis of [3H]glucosamine-labeled serum-free supernatants from a line of Chinese hamster ovary cells which secrete high levels of recombinant TGF-beta 1 indicate that the TGF-beta 1 precursor, but not the mature form, is glycosylated. Digestion with neuraminidase resulted in a shift in migration of the two TGF-beta 1 precursor bands, which suggests that they contain sialic acid residues. Endoglycosidase H had no noticeable effect. Treatment with N-glycanase produced two faster-migrating sharp bands, the largest of which had a molecular weight of 39 kilodaltons. TGF-beta 1-specific transcripts produced by SP6 polymerase programmed the synthesis of a 42-kilodalton polypeptide which, we suggest, is the unmodified protein backbone of the precursor. Labeling with 32Pi showed that the TGF-beta 1 precursor was phosphorylated in the amino portion of the molecule.
