## BACKGROUND. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone comprised of two dissimilar subunits (␣ and ) and normally is synthesized by trophoblastic tissue. Although hCG expression has been identified in a variety of neoplastic tissues, to the authors' knowledge no investigation

p27 Kip1 , one of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors (CDKIs), blocks progression from G 1 to S phase by binding cyclin D1-CDK4 and/or cyclin E-CDK2 and inhibiting their activities. Reflecting the function of p27 as a CDKI in vitro, a reduced expression of protein p27 has recently been repo
## Abstract It has been demonstrated that the chemopreventive agent __N__‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4‐HPR) induces apoptotic cell death, but recent data has suggested that late stage/recurrent tumours lose their response to 4‐HPR‐induced cell death by mechanisms that are unknown. Our study inves

## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) inhibits epithelial cell proliferation. Inactivation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway is thought to play a role in tumorigenesis. Our purpose was to clarify the correlation between TGF‐β receptors or TGF‐β1 expression and the clinicopathologic characte
Studies on epidermal-growth-factor-like-, fibroblast- and transforming growth factors suggested their implication in tumorigenesis involving effects on tumour-cell proliferation and migration. In human transitional-cell carcinomas (TCC), enhanced expression of TGF alpha and EGF receptors correlated
