Abstract

The growth of MG63 human osteosarcoma cell line in 5% serum is stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), or heparin-binding growth factor-1 (HBGF-1). The mitogenic effect of EGF and PDGF is completely blocked by TFG-beta at 1 ng per ml and the effect of HBGF-1 is attenuated by 75-80%. Treatment of MG63 cells with TGF-beta reduces HBGF-1 receptor binding affinity from 1.24 x 10(-11) M to 3.51 x 10(-11) M with no change on the receptor number (1.1 x 10(3) per cell). The receptor-binding affinity of EGF and PDGF is not altered by TGF-beta treatment; however, the number of EGF receptor is increased by 25%. Both EGF and PDGF stimulate MG63 cellular tyrosine kinase activity, and such stimulation is inhibited by TGF-beta pretreatment. No change in the cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation pattern can be detected in HBGF-1-stimulated cells with and without TGF-beta pretreatment. These data suggest that TGF-beta inhibits EGF and PDGF mitogenicity by blocking EGF- and PDGF-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity and attenuates HBGF-1 mitogenicity by decreasing its receptor affinity.
