Transforming Growth Factor-β Promotes Invasion in Tumorigenic but not in Nontumorigenic Human Prostatic Epithelial Cells
15 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a pleiotropic growth factor with actions that are dependent on circumstances, including dose, target cell type, and context. TGF-beta can elicit both growth-promoting and growth-suppressive activities. In normal tissues, TGF-beta generally acts to restrict growth and maintain differentiation. However, during tumorigenesis, changes in TGF-beta expression and cellular...
