lmmunohistochemical studies of transforming growth factor$ (TGF-P) and its receptors have been carried out on 16 glioma tissues and compared with 5 cases of gliosis. Significantly higher expressions of TGF-PI, as well as type-I and type4 TGF-fl receptors (TpR-I and TPR-II, respectively), were observ
In mammals, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is found in 3 highly homologous isoforms that exert their effects via heteromeric complexes of type-I and type-II receptors (TbetaR-I and TbetaR-II). TGF-beta regulates the growth and metabolism of various cell types, including keratinocytes. We
Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b1) is a potent negative regulator of cell growth that transduces signals through interactions with type I and II receptors. Abnormal expression and mutational alterations of these receptors have been observed in several human malignancies. In this study, we investi
