Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-beta) is a pleiotropic cytokine playing a key role in liver carcinogenesis. The goal of this study was to identify genes differentially expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines PRC/PRF/5 and SNU-449 after a treatment with TGF-beta and/or Galunisertib, an inhibitor of the type I TGF-beta receptor (TGFBRI). Thus, cells were treated for 16 hours with 1 ng/mL recombinant human TGF-β1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) and/or 10 μM LY2157299 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) after overnight serum starvation. Gene expression profiling was performed using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K microarrays.
