Purpose. Production of active transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta ) by human osteosarcoma may contribute to malignant progression through mechanisms that include induction of angiogenesis, immune suppression and autocrine growth stimulation of tumor cell growth.To study events associated with induction of cell proliferation by TGF-beta , we have evaluated the TGF-beta pathway in two murine osteosarcoma cell lines, K7 and K12.Results. Northern and immunohistochemical analyses show that each cell line expressesTGF-beta1 and TGF-beta3 mRNA and protein. Both cell lines secrete activeTGF-beta 1 and display a 30-50% reduction in growth when cultured in the presence of a TGF-beta blocking antibody. Expression of TGF-beta receptors TbetaRI, TbetaRII and TbetaRIII is demonstrated by affinity labeling with (125) -TGF-beta 1, and the intermediates, Smads 2, 3 and 4, are uniformly expressed. Smads 2 and 3 are phosphorylated in response toTGF-beta , while pRb phosphorylation in each osteosarcoma cell line is not affected by either exogenousTGF-beta or TGF-beta antibody.Conclusions. The data implicate events downstream of Smad activation, including impaired regulation of pRb, in the lack of a growth inhibitory response toTGF-beta , and indicate that this murine model of osteosarcoma is valid for investigating the roles of autocrineTGF-beta in vivo.
