(1).Loss of Functional Transforming Growth Factor(TGF)-β Type II Receptor Results in Insensitivity to TGF-β1 in Epstein-Barr Virus-positive Burkitt's Lymphoma Cell Line Akata (submitted).
We analyzed the effect of TGF-β1 on the cell growth and Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) reactivation in six Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. TGF-β1 induced cell growth inhibition and EBV reactivation in these cell lines but did not in Akata cells. To elucidate the mechanism of TGF-β1 unresponsiveness in Akata cells, we studied the expression of TGF-β receptors and the intracellular signaling molecules Smads. All cell lines expressed TGF-β type I receptor, Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4. TGF-β type II receptor (R-II) was expressed in all cell lines except Akata cells. Introduction of the TGF-β R-II into Akata cells results in sensitivity to TGF-β1-mediated growth inhibition, and EBV reactivation. To test a possibility to the transcriptional repression of the TGF-β R-II gene in Akata cells, the effect of histone deacetyla

tion (HDAC) inhibitor, trichostatin A(TSA) was examined. The expression of TGF-β R-II in Akata cells was induced by TSA treatment. These results suggest that the defect in the TGF-β1 response in Akata cells is caused by the lack of TGF-β R-II and the alteration of HDAC may be involved in the loss of TGF-β R-II in the cells.
