摘要:
AbstractHC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells can undergo a limited functional differentiation in terms ofβ-casein synthesis in response to the combined action of dexamethasone and prolactin. Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) can inhibitβ-casein expression in HC11 cells in a dose-dependent manner. This effect is reversible and specific as shown by comparison with the effect of other growth factors. TGF-βalso inhibits DNA synthesis of HC11 cells.These findings suggest a possible role of TGF-βas an inhibitor of functional differentiation in the mammary gland.
