Differential proteome analysis of conditioned media to detect Smad4 regulated secreted biomarkers in colon cancer
24 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Smad4 is a tumor suppressor gene primarily involved in carcinogenesis of the pancreas and colon. The functional inactivation of Smad4 is a late step genetically. In pancreatic carcinogenesis, loss of Smad4 marks the transition to invasive growth. In colorectal cancers, the frequency of Smad4 inactivation is markedly increased in metastatic cancers. We have established cell biological models, re-expressing Smad4...
