## 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

## Abstract Although tamoxifen (TAM) is used for the front‐line treatment and prevention of estrogen receptor‐positive (ER+) breast tumors, nearly 40% of estrogen‐dependent breast tumors do not respond to TAM treatment. Moreover, the positive response is usually of short duration, and most tumors e
The human cell line MDA-MB-231 is a prototype for the study of hormone-independent breast cancer. Modification of cell growth behaviour has been observed after treating these cells with growth factors. EGF is a typical stimulatory growth factor for many cell types, whereas transforming growth factor
Smad proteins activated by TGF- form complexes with Smad4. Upon activation, these complexes translocate to the nucleus of the cell, where they induce transcription of genes related to inhibition of cell growth, cell differentiation and apoptosis. We investigated the role of Smads in the TGF-mediat
## Abstract Both n‐6 and n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are dietary fats important for cell function, being involved in several physiologic and pathologic processes, such as tumorigenesis. Linoleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid, its geometrical and positional stereoisomer, were tested on sever
