Abstract excerpt
Hepatocytes adopt an invasive and metastatic phenotype caused by the cooperation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and oncogenic Ha-Ras. In the initial phase of this process, c-Fos is rapidly induced by TGF-beta, but then decreases to undetectable levels. Here, we investigated the functional implications of c-Fos activation and its contribution to hepatocellular tumorigenesis. By employing conditional...
