TGFβstimulates human blood monocyte migration, with peak migratory response occurring consistently at a concentration of 16–100fg/ml. Checkerboard analysis revealed both chemotactic and chemokinetic components to this response. At higher concentrations (10–100pg/ml), TGFβstimulated expression of angiogenic activity by monocytes. While mRNA for TNFαwas undetectable in resting monocytes, high steady state levels of TNFαmRNA were rapidy induced in TGFβ-treated monocytes. TGFβis secreted by a number of neoplastic cells as well as normal cells such as platelets and lymphocytes. TGFβmay recruit monocytes from the circulation, and subsequently activate them to express angiogenic activities such as TNFα, thus playing an important role in wound repair, inflammation and tumor growth.
