PG - 227-34 AB - Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) stimulated growth and glucose uptake in Swiss mouse fibroblasts. DNA synthesis was increased 2-3-fold after 48 h incubation of growing 3T3 cells with TGF-beta 1 in calf serum-containing medium. Glucose transport activity in the cells was increased within 3 h after addition of TGF-beta 1 and this stimulation continued during incubation for 48 h. TGF-beta 1 also increased the levels of a brain type-glucose transporter (GLUT1) mRNA and the GLUT1 protein (55 kDa) in the membranes, consistent with the increase in glucose uptake. Furthermore, a longer exposure of TGF-beta 1 for 24-48 h induced a marked increase in the 65 kDa GLUT1 in 3T3 cell membranes. Other growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor-alpha, and insulin did not elevate glucose uptake and the levels of 55 and 65 kDa GLUT1 proteins. Adding tunicamycin or deoxymannojirimycin to the TGF-beta 1-treated and untreated cells caused these 55 and 65 kDa glucose transporters to migrate as one band at 40-43 kDa. In addition, treating membrane proteins with glycopeptidase F, which removes N-linked oligosaccharides, also generated a glucose transporter of 40 kDa, suggesting that the 55 and 65 kDa GLUT1 proteins have a similar or identical core polypeptide but with different N-linked oligosaccharides. These results indicate that TGF-beta 1 modulates the synthesis of GLUT1 protein as well as its glycosylation in Swiss 3T3 cells, and that these changes may contribute to the control of cell proliferation by TGF-beta 1.
