Fig. 1 Effect of TGF-β1 on lysyl oxidase enzyme activity secreted into media by cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Confluent cultures were arrested in serum-free media for 24 hours and subsequently incubated for additional 24 hours in fresh, serum-free medium supplemented with 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 10 ng/ml of TGF-β1 or control vehicle. Data are pooled mean ± SEM of β-aminoproprionitrile-inhibited activity from triplicate aliquots of conditioned media derived from triplicate cultures for each condition. BAPN, β-aminoproprionitrile; TGF, transforming growth factor.

Fig. 2 Concentration-dependent effect of TGF-β1 on steady-state levels of lysyl oxidase mRNA in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Total cellular RNA was extracted, purified, and subjected to Northern blot analysis with 32P labeled oligonucleotide probes complementary to unique sequence of cDNA for rat lysyl oxidase. A, Autoradiogram of Northern blot of total cellular RNA (15 μg/lane) derived from cells incubated for 24 hours in presence of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 10 ng/ml of TGF-β1 or control vehicle. Each lane represents RNA sample from single culture. B, Radioactive image analysis of Northern blot in A. Data are pooled mean ± SEM of activities from three lanes per condition.

Fig. 3 Time-dependent effect of TGF-β1 on steady-state levels of lysyl oxidase mRNA in cultured rat aortic smooth-muscle cells. Total cellular RNA was extracted, purified, and subjected to Northern blot analysis with 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probes complementary to unique sequence of cDNA for rat lysyl oxidase. A, Autoradiogram of Northern blot of total cellular RNA (15 μg/lane) derived from cells cultured in presence of 1 ng/ml. B, Radioactive image analysis of Northern blot in A. Data are mean ± SEM for 2 or 3 lanes per condition.
