Abstract excerpt
We have examined the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) overexpression in human breast cancer cell tumorigenicity in athymic mice. Estrogen-dependent MCF-7 cells were stably transfected with pSVTGF beta 1. A clone was isolated which overexpressed TGF-beta 1 mRNA and secreted > 10-fold more TGF-beta activity into the tissue culture medium. Similar to the parent line, the MCF-7/TGF-beta 1...
