SMAD6 Contributes to Patient Survival in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer and Its Knockdown Reestablishes TGF-β Homeostasis in Lung Cancer Cells
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
The malignant transformation in several types of cancer, including lung cancer, results in a loss of growth inhibition by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Here, we show that SMAD6 expression is associated with a reduced survival in lung cancer patients. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of SMAD6 in lung cancer cell lines resulted in reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis as well as...
