title: Type beta 1 transforming growth factor is an inhibitor of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isomerase in mouse adrenal tumor cell line Y1.
abstract: In the Y1 mouse adrenal tumor cell line, the 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isomerase enzyme (3 beta-HSD) which catalyzes the transformation of 3 beta-hydroxy-5-ene steroids to 3-keto-4-ene steroids is active. The effect of type beta 1 transforming growth factor (TGF beta 1), a potent modulator of adrenocortical differentiated functions, on the 3 beta-HSD enzyme was studied. Four isoforms of 3 beta-HSD yielding proteins of different mobility on SDS-PAGE were previously detected in the mouse; whereas only one form was present in the mouse adrenal, we detected two isoforms in the Y1 cells. An inhibition of the basal enzymatic activity was observed after TGF beta 1 treatment which was correlated with a decrease in 3 beta-HSD protein (both isoforms) and mRNA levels.
