In breast and colon cancers, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling initially has an antineoplastic effect, inhibiting tumor growth, but eventually exerts a proneoplastic effect, increasing motility and cancer spread. In prostate cancer, studies using human samples have correlated the loss of the TGF-beta type II receptor (T beta R II) with higher tumor grade. To determine the effect of an inhibited...
