Placental Transforming Growth Factor-β Is a Downstream Mediator of the Growth Arrest and Apoptotic Response of Tumor Cells to DNA Damage and p53 Overexpression
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor gene and members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily play central roles in signaling cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (programmed cell death) in normal development and differentiation, as well as in carcinogenesis. Here we describe a distantly related member of the TGF-beta superfamily, designated placental TGF-beta (PTGF-beta), that is up-regulated in response to...
