Abstract excerpt
Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/Akt, an important cell survival signaling pathway, to stimulate growth of various cell types. Transforming growth factor (TGF) superfamily ligands activate intracellular Smad signaling to regulate cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis; dysregulation of the TGF-beta/Smad pathway has been noted in cancer cells. Therefore, we sought...
