title: Transforming growth factor beta 1-mediated growth inhibition in chick embryo fibroblasts: reversion by virally-expressed nuclear oncogenes.
abstract: Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) inhibits growth of primary cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts by affecting G1 and strongly increasing the generation time. This inhibition is reversed by the nuclear oncogenes v-jun, v-fos, v-myc, but not v-erbA and v-ets. It is also reversed by v-myb from either avian myeloblastosis virus or avian E26 retrovirus. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that independent, functional interferences may take place between the TGF-beta 1-induced growth inhibitory pathway and the oncogen-driven stimulatory pathway(s) at the level of the AP-1, Myc, and Myb transcription factors.
