Knockdown of the Transforming Growth Factor-β Type III Receptor Impairs Motility and Invasion of Metastatic Cancer Cells
14 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway plays dual roles in epithelial cell tumorigenesis. TGF-beta is initially growth inhibitory, but as tumorigenesis progresses, TGF-beta becomes prometastatic. Although the role of the types I and II TGF-beta receptors is fairly well established, the role of the ubiquitously expressed TGF-beta type III receptor (TbetaRIII) in tumorigenesis is less...
