Role of Smad1 and Smad4 proteins in the induction of p21WAF1,Cip1 during bone morphogenetic protein-induced growth arrest in human breast cancer cells
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta family of cytokines. The recent observation that BMPs can inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation in vitro suggests that BMPs or the BMP pathway may hold promise as therapeutic targets for the control of breast tumor growth in women. Better to understand the mechanism of BMP-induced growth arrest we examined the effect of BMP-2...
