Summary

Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a secreted polypeptide that is thought to play a major role in the regulation of folliculogenesis and differentiation of thyroid cells. On porcine thyroid follicular cells cultured on plastic substratum, TGF-beta1, in a concentration-dependent way, promoted the disruption of follicles, cell spreading, migration and confluency by a mechanism that did not involve cell proliferation. TGF-beta1 strongly activated the production of thrombospondin-1 and (alpha)vbeta3 integrin in a concentration-dependent manner whereas the expression of thyroglobulin was unaffected. Anisomycin, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, inhibited the effect of TGF-beta1 on cell organization. Thrombospondin-1 reproduced the effect of TGF-beta1. In the presence of thrombospondin-1 cells did not organize in follicle-like structures but, in contrast, spreaded and reached confluency independently of cell proliferation. This effect is suppressed by an RGD-containing peptide. The adhesive properties of thrombospondin-1 for thyroid cells were shown to be mediated by both the amino-terminal heparin-binding domain and the RGD domain of thrombospondin-1. Adhesion was shown to involve (alpha)vbeta3 integrin. The results show that TGF-beta1 exerted an influence upon function and behaviour of follicle cells partly mediated by the synthesis of thrombospondin-1 and of its receptor (alpha)vbeta3 integrin.

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.


Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.


Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
