Abstract excerpt
We have examined the effect of transforming growth factor beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) and overexpression of the Smad4 gene on the phenotype of Car C, a ras mutated highly malignant spindle carcinoma cell line. TGF-beta(1)-treated Car C cells overexpressing Smad4 spread with a flattened morphology with membrane ruffles abundant in vinculin and show a reduction in their invasive abilities. TGF-beta(1) treatment and...
