Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is capable of affecting the proliferation of many cell types. To identify novel genes whose protein products may mediate cellular responses to this factor,… (More)
Up-regulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression is often used as a surrogate marker of neuronal damage. We have created a transgenic mouse line that carries the luciferase gene… (More)
Medium conditioned by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the simian pre-pro-TGF beta 1 cDNA contains high levels of latent TGF beta 1. The amino-terminal region of the TGF beta 1… (More)

In previous studies hepatocytes undergoing cell death by apoptosis but not normal hepatocytes in rat liver showed immunostaining for transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Staining was much… (More)
The transforming growth factors beta (TGFs-beta) are potent inhibitors of cell proliferation and are usually secreted in a latent form. TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 2, and TGF-beta 3 are expressed in… (More)
Recently, the simian type 1 transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta 1) cDNA was expressed at high levels in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by dihydrofolate reductase-induced gene amplification… (More)
We have previously identified a gene, beta ig-h3, which is highly induced in A549 cells (human lung adenocarcinoma) after growth arrest by transforming growth factor-beta. The beta ig-h3 gene encodes… (More)
Three cysteine residues are located in the pro region of the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) precursor at amino acid positions 33, 223, and 225. Previous studies (Gentry, L. E.,… (More)
The RNA genome of the cytopathic NADL isolate of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) has been molecularly cloned and the nucleotide sequence determined. The cloned sequence was 12,573 nucleotides in… (More)
The GADD45 (growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible) family of genes is involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis. To study signaling pathways affecting GADD45beta expression… (More)
