The present study showed that Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta(1)) can induce apoptosis of bovine mammary epithelial cells. This apoptosis was also observed with phosphorylation of Smad2/3 within 0.5-2 h. Afterwards the signal transferred into the nucleus. Moreover, intracellular free Ca2+ concentration was significantly elevated as well as Caspase-3 activated and DNA lysised, thereby inducing the programmed cell death. This signaling pathway of TGF-beta(1) was blocked by SB-431542 (10(-2) mu M) via inhibiting ALK-5 kinase activity which thus reversed the anti-proliferation and apoptosis effect of TGF-beta(1) in mammary epithelial cells. These results indicated that TGF-beta(1), induced apoptosis of bovine mammary epithelial cells through the ALK-5-Smad2/3 pathway, which plays an important role in inhibiting survival of mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, intracellular Ca2+ also played a critical role in TGF-beta(1)-induced cell apoptosis.
