Angiogenesis is essential to both normal and pathological bone physiology. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated in angiogenesis, whereas transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) modulates bone differentiation, matrix formation, and cytokine expression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between TGF-beta 1 and VEGF expression in osteoblasts and osteoblast-like cells. Northern blot analysis revealed an early peak of VEGF mRNA (6-fold at 3 h) in fetal rat calvarial cells and MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells after stimulation with TGF-beta 1 (2.5 ng/ml). The stability of VEGF mRNA in MC3T3-E1 cells was not increased after TGF-beta 1 treatment. Actinomycin D inhibited the TGF-beta 1-induced peak in VEGF mRNA, whereas cycloheximide did not. Blockade of TGF-beta 1 signal transduction via a dominant-negative receptor II adenovirus significantly decreased TGF-beta 1 induction of VEGF mRNA. Additionally, TGF-beta 1 induced a dose-dependent increase in VEGF protein expression by MC3T3-E1 cells (P < 0.01). Dexamethasone similarly inhibited VEGF protein expression. Both TGF-beta 1 mRNA and VEGF mRNA were concurrently present in rat membranous bone, and both followed similar patterns of expression during rat mandibular fracture healing (mRNA and protein). In summary, TGF-beta 1-induced VEGF expression by osteoblasts and osteoblast-like cells is a dose-dependent event that may be intimately related to bone development and fracture healing.
