Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) isoforms comprise a family of multifunctional polypeptide growth factors that either inhibit or stimulate cell proliferation. We examined TGF-beta expression in normal human gastric mucosa and carcinoma. The distribution and expression of TGF-beta isoforms

Many studies have shown that angiogenesis plays an important role in the growth, progression, and metastasis of solid tumors. Recently, several angiogenic factors have been identified. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to be one such angiogenic factor and is also thought to be a s
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) induced the disruption and scattering of colonies of TMK-1, a cell line derived from a human gastric carcinoma. A stimulatory action of EGF on cell migration was also observed as determined by a wound assay. However, these actions of EGF were inhibited if the cells were
