Forty-three sporadic gastric cancers were analyzed with regard to whether mutations of simple repeated sequences in the transforming growth factor fi type II receptor ( T p -I / ) gene are associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) and gastric carcinogenesis. In 12 ofthe 43 cancers (28%), MSI

Retinoblastoma cells are resistant to transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) activity due to the absence of TGF-b binding. To further elucidate the mechanism of TGF-b resistance, we studied the expression of the TGF-b receptors and SMADs by using the Y79 and WERI-Rb-1 retinoblastoma cell lines. Bindin
Alteration of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) type II receptor (RII) appears to cause unresponsiveness to TGF-beta1 in tumorigenic cells. Defect in the mononucleotide repeat sequence, i.e., poly A region of TGF-beta1RII gene has been reported to be related to replication error-positive
