Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta has profound effects on epithelial cell differentiation and is capable of modulating the response to exposure to ionizing radiation. We recently reported that TGF-beta downregulates c-myc mRNA expression and inhibits the growth of OE-33 esophageal carcinoma cells in vitro. These studies investigate the role of TGF-beta in the in vitro radiation response of OE-33 and four...
