Transgenic mice that overexpress transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha develop liver tumors between 12 and 15 months of age. Tumor development is preceded by an overall increase in the rates of hepatocyte proliferation and cell death. To examine the role of apoptosis in the development of TGF-alpha-induced liver tumors, we generated TGF-alpha/Bcl-2 double transgenic mice by crossing TGF-alpha transgenic mice...
