Transforming Growth Factor-β-induced Apoptosis Is Mediated by Smad-dependent Expression of GADD45b through p38 Activation
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-dependent apoptosis is important in the elimination of damaged or abnormal cells from normal tissues in vivo. In this report, we identify GADD45b as an effector of TGF-beta-induced apoptosis. GADD45b has been shown to be a positive mediator of apoptosis induced by certain cytokines and oncogenes. We show that Gadd45b is an immediateearly response gene for TGF-beta and...
