Abstract excerpt
Lung cancer is the most common visceral malignancy in males, with rapidly increasing incidence in females, and a devastatingly poor prognosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta has been shown to induce senescence in A549 lung cancer cells, and both TGF-beta and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 can suppress the transformed phenotype of A549 cells in vitro. We examined the effects of BMP4, another member of...
