RESUMO

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), derived from human platelets, stimulates the uptake of 2-deoxy-glucose by cultured cell monolayers 2- to 4-fold. Stimulation can be detected as early as 30 min with as little as 0.1 ng of TGF-beta per ml and maximal effects can be obtained at 2 hr with 1 ng of the growth factor per ml. TGF-beta-induced stimulation of sugar uptake is enhanced by the co-addition of platelet-derived growth factor (10 ng/ml) or epidermal growth factor (EGF, 1 ng/ml). The NR-6 variant of mouse 3T3 cells, which lack EGF receptors, is not stimulated by TGF-beta. Antisera to EGF receptors that block 125I-labeled EGF binding also inhibit TGF-beta stimulation of 2-deoxyglucose uptake, although 125I-labeled TGF-beta binding remains unimpaired. In contrast, anti-sera to the EGF receptor, which do not block EGF binding, have no measurable effect on the TGF-beta-stimulated uptake of 2-deoxyglucose. We confirm that the receptor for TGF-beta is distinct from the receptor for EGF and we conclude that TGF-beta stimulation of 2-deoxyglucose uptake requires the co-activation of the EGF receptor kinase system.
