Abstract

The influence of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on the expression of different forms of small proteoglycans was investigated in human skin fibroblasts and in a human osteosarcoma cell line. TGF-beta was not found to act as a general stimulator of small proteoglycan biosynthesis. In both cell types, an increased expression of the core protein of proteoglycan I was found. However, there was a profound decrease in the expression of a 106 kDa core protein, and either no alteration or a small decrease in the biosynthesis of the collagen-binding small proteoglycan II core protein. These results show that the production of individual members of the small proteoglycan family is differentially regulated.
