## Abstract Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐associated undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is characterized by a prominent nonneoplastic lymphoid stroma. The functional role of these inflammatory cells and the mechanism of their recruitment are not fully understood. In B‐cells, the EBV‐encoded

## ) is a potent cytokine that stimulates interstitial collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1). In this study, we compared the mechanism(s) by which IL-1b induces collagenase gene expression in two very different cells, normal human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) and an aggressive breast ca
## Abstract Follistatin‐related gene (FLRG) is a member of the follistatin family of proteins and interacts with transforming growth factor (TGF) superfamily proteins like follistatin. To understand the expression level of FLRG in brain tissue, we examined whether primary neurons and glial cells fr
## Abstract Human Cripto‐1 (CR‐1) is a cell membrane protein that is overexpressed in several different types of human carcinomas. In the present study we investigated the mechanisms that regulate the expression of CR‐1 gene in cancer cells. We cloned a 2,481 bp 5′‐flanking region of the human CR‐1
## Abstract Genetic evidence suggests that caveolin‐1, an essential component of membrane caveolae, acts as a tumor promoter in some, and a tumor suppressor in other cancers. The role of caveolin‐1 in colon carcinogenesis is controversial. We report here, for the first time, that caveolin‐1 is tran
## Abstract Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) have been shown to be involved in various retinal diseases. We have studied the role of inflammatory cytokines on the expression and secretion of TGF‐β in human RPE cells (HRPE). Confluent cultures of HRPE derived
