Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) can act as a tumor suppressor or a tumor promoter depending on the characteristics of the malignant cell. We recently demonstrated that colon carcinoma cells transfected with oncogenic cellular K-rasV12, but not oncogenic cellular H-rasV12, switched from TGFbeta1-insensitive to TGFbeta1-growth-stimulated and also became more invasive (Yan, Z., Deng, X., and Friedman, E....
