Transforming growth factor-β and breast cancer: Transforming growth factor-β/SMAD signaling defects and cancer
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a tumor suppressor, the function of which is compromised in many types of human cancer, including breast cancer. The tumor suppressive effects of TGF-beta are caused by potent inhibition of cell proliferation due to cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. Such antiproliferative responses are mediated by a signaling system that includes two types of cell surface receptors...
