Transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) can promote late stage tumor progression in a number of model systems. In the present study, we have examined whether expression of a truncated soluble extracellular domain of TGF-ß type III receptor (sRIII) in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells can antagonize the tumor-promoting activity of TGF-ß by sequestering active TGF-ß isoforms that are produced by the cancer cells. The secretion of sRIII reduced the amount of active TGF-ß1 and TGF-ß2 in the conditioned medium. This led to a significant reduction of the growth-inhibitory activity of the medium conditioned by sRIII-expressing cells on the growth of mink lung epithelial CCL64 cells in comparison with the medium conditioned by the control cells. The tumor incidence and growth rate of all of the three sRIII-expressing clones studied were significantly lower than those of the control cells in athymic nude mice. Four of five control cell-inoculated mice showed spontaneous metastasis in the lung, whereas none of the sRIII-expressing cell-inoculated mice had any lung metastasis. Thus, our results suggest that the sRIII may be used to antagonize the tumor-promoting activity of TGF-ß.
