Smad pathway‐specific transcriptional regulation of the cell cycle inhibitor p21<sup>WAF1/Cip1</sup>
2 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) inhibits epithelial cell growth, in part via transcriptional induction of the cell cycle inhibitor p21(WAF1/Cip1) (p21). We show that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 induces higher p21 expression than TGF-beta1 in various epithelial cells. Despite this, BMP-7 only weakly suppresses epithelial cell proliferation, as Id2, a cell cycle-promoting factor, becomes...
