Abstract excerpt
The proto-oncogene MYC plays a critical role in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, and its down-regulation by transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) signaling is necessary for TGFbeta to inhibit cell proliferation. KLF5, on the other hand, is a pro-proliferative basic transcription factor that reverses function to become an anti-proliferative TGFbeta cofactor upon TGFbeta stimulation in epithelial...
