A Dominant Inhibitory Mutant of the Type II Transforming Growth Factor β Receptor in the Malignant Progression of a Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma
1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
In many cancers, inactivating mutations in both alleles of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) type 11 receptor (TbetaRII) gene occur and correlate with loss of sensitivity to TGF-beta. Here we describe a novel mechanism for loss of sensitivity to growth inhibition by TGF-beta in tumor development. Mac-1 cells, isolated from the blood of a patient with an indolent form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma,...
