Abstract excerpt
The effects of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on the regulation of basement membrane gene expression were studied in human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cell cultures. Treatment of cells with TGF-beta 1 resulted in a time- and dose-dependent enhancement of type IV collagen and fibronectin gene expression, as detected both at the mRNA level by Northern hybridizations and at the protein level by...
