1 Differential expression and biological activity of retinoic acid-induced TGFbeta isoforms in embryonic palate mesenchymal cells. Tretinoin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
2 The effect of retinoic acid (RA) on TGF-beta mRNA expression and protein production in murine embryonic palate mesenchymal (MEPM) cells was examined by Northern blotting and TGF-beta bioassay in association with TGF-beta isoform-specific neutralizing antibodies. Tretinoin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
3 The effect of retinoic acid (RA) on TGF-beta mRNA expression and protein production in murine embryonic palate mesenchymal (MEPM) cells was examined by Northern blotting and TGF-beta bioassay in association with TGF-beta isoform-specific neutralizing antibodies. Tretinoin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
4 Coincubation of heat-activated CM from RA-treated MEPM cells with pan-specific or TGF-beta2 or beta3-specific neutralizing antibodies partially relieved the inhibitory effect on 3H-thymidine incorporation, suggesting that this proliferative response was due to RA-induced TGF-beta. Tretinoin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
5 These data demonstrate a role for RA and RA-induced TGF-beta in the regulation of palate cell proliferation and GAG synthesis and suggest a role for TGF-beta in retinoid-induced cleft palate. Tretinoin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
