Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-P) is a polypeptide with multiple physiological functions. lsoforms of this growth factor have important roles in control of the cell cycle, in regulation of cell-cell interactions and in growth and development. Malignant transformation has been shown to be assoc

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
Regeneration involves a number of cellular processes: revascularisation, invasion by haemopoietic cells, removal of necrotic tissue and finally reformation of the tissues. These processes have been extensively studied in vitro and are known to be affected by various growth factors. However, it has p
A panel of 6 human glioma cell lines was examined for TGF-1 responsiveness. U-178 MG and U-251 MG AgCl1 were significantly inhibited by TGF-1, while U-343 MGa 31L and U-343 MGa 35L were potently stimulated to proliferate. TGF-1 induced endogenous PAI-1 protein synthesis, Smad binding element/(CAG
We have investigated the role of autocrine/paracrine TGF-b secretion in the regulation of cell growth by androgens as demonstrated by its inhibition by two androgen response modifiers; the nonsteroidal antiandrogen hydroxyflutamide (OHF), believed to act by inhibiting androgen binding to androgen re
