Oncogenic Ras and Transforming Growth Factor-β Synergistically Regulate AU-Rich Element–Containing mRNAs during Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
1 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Colon cancer progression is characterized by activating mutations in Ras and by the emergence of the tumor-promoting effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling. Ras-inducible rat intestinal epithelial cells (RIE:iRas) undergo a well-described epithelial to mesenchymal transition and invasive phenotype in response to H-RasV12 expression and TGF-beta treatment, modeling tumor progression. We...
