1 Transforming growth factor-beta opposes the stimulatory effects of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor on amnion cell prostaglandin E2 production: implication for preterm labor. Dinoprostone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 We studied the effect of transforming growth factor-beta on the cytokine-induced prostaglandin E2 production by amnion cells. Dinoprostone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Transforming growth factor-beta decreased the interleukin-1- or tumor necrosis factor-induced prostaglandin E2 production by 70% to 80% and the basal prostaglandin E2 synthesis by 27%. Dinoprostone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
4 RESULTS: Transforming growth factor-beta decreased the interleukin-1- or tumor necrosis factor-induced prostaglandin E2 production by 70% to 80% and the basal prostaglandin E2 synthesis by 27%. Dinoprostone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
5 The synergistic stimulation of prostaglandin E2 production by the combination of interleukin-1 with tumor necrosis factor was inhibited by 80% in cells treated with transforming growth factor-beta. Dinoprostone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSION: Transforming growth factor-beta suppresses the cytokine-induced prostaglandin E2 production by amnion cells and may be an important factor in maintaining pregnancy in the face of labor-promoting cytokines. Dinoprostone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
