Functional role of Meox2 during the epithelial cytostatic response to TGF‐β
14 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) suppresses epithelial cell growth. We have identified a new target gene of the TGF-beta/Smad pathway, Meox2, encoding the homeodomain transcription factor that is known to regulate endothelial cell proliferation and muscle development. Knockdown of endogenous Meox2 by RNA interference prevented the TGF-beta1-induced cytostatic response. Moreover, ectopic Meox2 suppressed...
