Id2 and Id3 Define the Potency of Cell Proliferation and Differentiation Responses to Transforming Growth Factor β and Bone Morphogenetic Protein
30 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factors beta (TGF-betas) inhibit growth of epithelial cells and induce differentiation changes, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). On the other hand, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) weakly affect epithelial cell growth and do not induce EMT. Smad4 transmits signals from both TGF-beta and BMP pathways. Stimulation of Smad4-deficient epithelial cells with TGF-beta 1 or BMP-7 in...
