title: Comparison of the action of transforming growth factor-beta 1 and interleukin-1 beta on matrix metabolism in the culture of porcine endothelial cells.
abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the metabolism of the connective tissue (collagen and proteoglycans) in the endothelial cell culture (enzymatically isolated from porcine aortas). The endothelial cells were activated by 1-10 ng/ml TGF-beta 1 and 250 pg/ml IL-1 beta together and separately. Intensity of proteoglycan synthesis has been evaluated by using radioactive [35S]-sodium sulfate whereas the intensity of collagen was evaluated by incorporation of [3H]-proline. The following conclusions have been drawn as the result of the experiment: 1) TGF-beta 1 stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans and collagen in endothelial cell culture, whereas IL-1 beta has the opposite action; and 2) TGF-beta 1 reduces IL-1 beta action which hampers the synthesis of proteoglycans and collagen, provided that the culture's preincubation with TGF-beta 1 precedes the incubation with IL-1 beta.
