title: Inhibition of proliferation of cultured rat liver epithelial cells at specific cell cycle stages by transforming growth factor-beta.
abstract: Proliferation of early-passage propagable cultured rat liver epithelial cells derived from normal adult rats is markedly inhibited by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Inhibition, which is completely reversible, is effected at two distinct points of the cell cycle, the G1/S border and the G0 or early G1 phase. With increasing passages in culture, hepatic epithelial cells progressively become less sensitive to the inhibitory effect of TGF-beta.
