Although transforming growth factor- (TGF- )
is a growth factor with many known regulatory activities in many
different cell types, its intracellular signaling pathway is still not
fully understood. A TGF- -inducible early gene (TIEG) was
discovered and shown by this laboratory to be a 3-zinc finger
transcription factor family member; its expression is rapidly induced
in cells treated with TGF- . To ascertain whether TIEG plays a major
role in the TGF- pathway, human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells were stably transfected either with an expression vector containing a TIEG cDNA
or with the vector alone. Clones that contain only the vector express
normal levels of TIEG mRNA and protein and display the same
patterns of gene expression and levels of cell proliferation as the
nontransfected, non-TGF- -treated parental cells. However, transfected cells that overexpress TIEG mRNA and protein
(TIEG-6 and TIEG-7) display changes that mimic those of MG-63
cells treated with TGF- , i.e. increased alkaline
phosphatase activity, decreased levels of osteocalcin mRNA and
protein, and decreased cell proliferation. The degree of these changes
correlated with the level of TIEG expressed in the cell lines. TGF-
treatment of the overexpressed cells showed no added effects. These
findings and other published reports support a primary role of TIEG as
a transcription factor in the TGF- signaling pathway.
