Critical Role of Smad2 in Tumor Suppression and Transforming Growth Factor-β–Induced Apoptosis of Prostate Epithelial Cells
10 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) functions as a tumor suppressor of the prostate through mechanisms that remain unresolved. Although TGF-beta receptors directly activate both Smads 2 and 3, to date, Smad3 has been shown to be the essential mediator of most Smad-dependent TGF-beta responses, including control of gene expression, cell growth, apoptosis, and tumor suppression. Using a robust lentiviral...
