Abstract excerpt
Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) is a pleiotropic cytokine closely linked to tumors. Previously, we pharmacologically inhibited basal nitric oxide (NO) production in healthy mammary glands and found that this induced precancerous progression accompanied by upregulation of TGFβ and desmoplasia. In the present study, we tested whether NO directly S-nitrosylates (forms an NO-adduct at a cysteine residue) TGFβ for...
