Abstract excerpt
TGF (transforming growth factor)-beta1 is a multifunctional cytokine that influences homoeostatic processes of various tissues. TGF-beta1 expression is inhibited by androgens in the prostate gland, whereas its expression is enhanced by androgens in highly metastatic prostate cancer cells. Here, we examined regulation of human TGF-beta1 promoter activity by androgen in prostate cancer cells. The full-length (-3363...
