PG - 247-57 AB - The growth modulatory effects of a rat liver-derived growth inhibitor (LDGI), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), and recombinant tumor necrosis factor (rTNF-alpha) were examined in a variety of liver-derived and nonliver-derived normal and neoplastic cell culture systems. Normal rat liver epithelial (RLE) cells were highly sensitive to the growth inhibitory effects of LDGI (ID50 = 0.2 ng/ml) and TGF-beta 1 (ID50 = 0.25 ng/ml) but were less sensitive to rTNF-alpha (ID40 = 5000 Units/ml). Aflatoxin B1-transformed RLE cells showed sensitivity to the cytostatic effects of LDGI (ID50 = 1.5 ng/ml); however, these cells were completely resistant to the antiproliferative effects of TGF-beta 1 and rTNF-alpha. Clones isolated from these transformed cells, exhibited a wide range of sensitivities to LDGI but all of the clones were resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of both TGF-beta 1 and rTNF-alpha. Rat hepatoma Reuber cells were extremely sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of rTNF-alpha (ID50 = 10 Units/ml) but exhibited sensitivity to LDGI only at concentrations above 1.5 ng/ml and were resistant to the antiproliferative effects of TGF-beta 1. Rat hepatoma UVM 7777 cells and human hepatoma HepG2 cells, however, were insensitive to the growth inhibitory effects of all three factors. Among the nonliver-derived cells, human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cells were extremely sensitive to rTNF-alpha (ID50 = 20 Units/ml, exhibited some sensitivity to LDGI (ID50 = 1 ng/ml), and were resistant to the antiproliferative effects of TGF-beta 1. In contrast, the rate of DNA synthesis is rat kidney fibroblasts and human foreskin fibroblasts was significantly stimulated in response to TGF-beta 1, LDGI, and rTNF-alpha. These data demonstrate that LDGI, TGF-beta 1, and rTNF-alpha exert positive and negative modulations of growth in different cell systems and that the growth regulatory effects of LDGI differ from those of TGF-beta 1 and rTNF-alpha in some cell types.
