Abstract excerpt
The effect of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta, 1 ng/ml) on proteoglycan synthesis by rabbit articular chondrocytes in culture was studied in the presence of fetal bovine serum. Exposure of confluent cells for 24 h to the factor resulted in a marked increase of 35S-labeled sulfate incorporation in the newly synthesized proteoglycans (PG), as estimated by glycosaminoglycan (GAG) radioactivity (+58%). The...
