摘要

Mutations of the Smad4 gene, a member of a group of TGF-beta signal transduction components, occur in several types of cancer suggesting that its inactivation significantly affects TGF-beta responsiveness in these tumors. To further investigate the role of Smad4 with respect to TGF-beta signaling and carcinogenesis, we re-expressed the Smad4 gene in the Smad4-deficient cancer cell line FaDu by microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) and retroviral infection to closely approximate physiological protein levels. The Smad4-expressing FaDu clones were then evaluated for TGF-beta responsiveness to assess the role of Smad4 in TGF-beta-induced growth inhibition and target gene regulation. We found that the re-expression of the Smad4 gene by either method partially restored TGF-beta responsiveness in FaDu cells with respect to both growth inhibition and expression of p21WAF1/CIP1 and p15INK4B. However, only the microcell hybrids showed growth retardation in organotypic raft culture and an enhanced abilityto upregulate fibronectin. In contrast, the re-expression of Smad4 by either method failed to suppress tumorigenicity. These results suggest that in addition to a homozygous deletion of Smad4, FaDu cells contain additional defects within the TGF-beta signaling pathway, thereby limiting the extent of TGF-beta responsiveness upon Smad4 re-expression and perhaps accounting for the inability to induce p15INK4B to a high level. They also demonstrate the advantages of providing a physiological extracellular environment, when assessing TGFbeta responsiveness.
