TGF-β type I receptor/ALK-5 and Smad proteins mediate epithelial to mesenchymal transdifferentiation in NMuMG breast epithelial cells
15 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
The capacities of different transforming growth factor-(beta) (TGF-(beta)) superfamily members to drive epithelial to mesenchymal transdifferentiation of the murine mammary epithelial cell line NMuMG were investigated. TGF-(beta)1, but not activin A or osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1)/bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7), was able to induce morphological transformation of NMuMG cells as shown by reorganisation of the...
