The induction of DNA synthesis in quiescent, density-arrested Balbk 3T3 cells is known to be controlled by the sequential action of at least two functionally distinct sets of growth factors, so-called "competence factors" and "progression factors." Here we examined this induction pathway in Balb/c 3

A panel of 6 human glioma cell lines was examined for TGF-β€1 responsiveness. U-178 MG and U-251 MG AgCl1 were significantly inhibited by TGF-β€1, while U-343 MGa 31L and U-343 MGa 35L were potently stimulated to proliferate. TGF-β€1 induced endogenous PAI-1 protein synthesis, Smad binding element/(CAG
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) exerts an inhibitory effect on the growth of most epithelial cell types, and the loss of responsiveness to this growth inhibition has been implicated in the development of a variety of human cancers. The genetic alteration of TGF-beta receptors is known to
