Human transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha) is coded for by an mRNA of about 4800 nucleotides. The cDNA sequence demonstrates that the 50 amino acid TGF alpha is embedded in a larger 160 amino acid precursor protein. We report here that in addition to the 4800 nucleotide TGF alpha mRNA, there is a novel second RNA species of about 350 nucleotides that hybridizes to a human TGF alpha cDNA probe. This small RNA species has been found in the RNA of several human tumor cells including HT1080, A549, A431, A2058, and A673. We have demonstrated an inverse relationship between the amounts of the 4800 nucleotide TGF alpha mRNA and the 350 nucleotide novel RNA in these human cells. Restriction enzyme cleavage of a human TGF alpha cDNA probe into three separate domains consisting of a processed coding region and 5'- and 3'-preprocessed coding and untranslated regions showed that only the 3'-untranslated region hybridized to the 350 nucleotide RNA. Using sense and anti-sense single-stranded 3'-untranslated region probes, we determined that the 350 nucleotide RNA band may be composed of multiple species of RNA which are related to the anti-sense DNA strand that is opposite to the strand that codes for the 4800 nucleotide TGF alpha mRNA.
