Calcium is an important regulator of terminal differentiation of cultured epidermal cells. In order to investigate the relationship between the termination of proliferative activity and the process of keratinization, we studied the time course of events induced by a sudden increase of extracellular calcium (calcium-switch) in cultures of established murine skin keratinocytes (BALB/c MK-1). These cells displayed density-dependent growth arrest without undergoing terminal differentiation in the presence of serum- and mitogen-free medium with a calcium concentration <0.10 mM. The calcium-switch alone was sufficient to induce a dose-dependent burst of DNA synthesis, which was followed by a state in which the cells became progressively refractory to mitogenic stimulation with epidermal growth factor. Treatment of cultures with type β transforming growth factor during the first 6- to 10 h following the calcium-switch completely eliminated the initial burst of DNA synthesis as well as the terminal differentiation in response to calcium. On the other hand, the calcium-switch also caused the induction of a four- to fivefold increase of the activity of the membrane-associated form of transglutaminase that is required for keratinization, which was not affected by the presence of type β transforming growth factor. These observations suggest that type β transforming growth factor regulates the calcium-induced terminal cell division independently of the induction of phenotypic markers of keratinization, such as transglutaminase.
