Abstract
BACKGROUND: CD105 is highly expressed on human activated endothelial cells (ECs), is an important component of the TGF-β1 receptor complex and is essential for angiogenesis. CD105 expression is up-regulated in activated ECs and is an important potential marker for cancer prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vitro rat myoblasts transfected with the L-CD105 and S-CD105 transfectants. The transfectants were treated with TGF-β1 for the angiogenesis study. RESULTS: L-CD105 affects cell proliferation in the presence and absence of TGF-β1, and inhibits p-ERK1/2, p-MEK1/2 and p-c-Jun in L-CD105 transfectants compared to controls. The induction of phospho-ERK1/2 following treatment with TGF-β1 remained significantly lower in L-CD105 transfectants compared to controls. CONCLUSION: L-CD105 inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, MEK1/2, c-Jun1/2/3, and associated signalling intermediates. CD105 modulates cell growth and TGF-β1 induced cell signalling through ERK-c-Jun expression.
