Abstract excerpt
Both transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-induced expression of biglycan (BGN) and activation of p38 MAPK have been implicated in cellular adhesion and migration. Here, we analyzed the role of adhesive events and the small GTPase Rac1 in TGF-beta regulation of BGN. TGF-beta1 induction of BGN expression and activation of p38 was abolished or strongly reduced when cells were kept in suspension or exposed to...
