Transforming growth factor  (TGF-) has been shown to induce apoptotic cell death in normal and transformed hepatocytes. However, the exact mechanism through which TGF- induces cell death is still unknown. We examined a potential role of various death receptor/ ligand systems in TGF--induced apop
Biliary tract carcinoma is a common neoplasm in Japan, and its treatment is difficult because it tends to promote fibrosis and easily invades surrounding tissues. To better characterize the biological features of this carcinoma, we investigated abnormalities in the transforming growth factor- (TGF-
The authors previously reported that transforming growth factor  1 (TGF- 1 ) induces apoptosis in McA-RH7777 (7777) and McA-RH8994 (8994) rat hepatoma cell lines. Although these cell lines exhibit different responses to glucocorticoid treatment in various cellular functions and gene expression, de
