Tumor suppressor activity of the gene encoding mammary-derived growth inhibitor.

Abstract excerpt

The gene encoding mammary-derived growth inhibitor (MDGI), a protein previously purified from bovine mammary gland and shown to have modest antiproliferative activity for human breast cancer cells in vitro, is demonstrated to function as a potent tumor suppressor gene. Human breast cancer cells transfected with a MDGI expression construct exhibited differentiated morphology, reduced proliferation rate, reduced...
