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

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
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
To elucidate the role of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and the TGF-beta type II receptor (TGF-beta RII) as tumor-suppressor genes in lung carcinogenesis, we mated C57BL/6 mice heterozygous (HT) for deletion of the TGF-beta1 gene with A/J mice to produce AJBL6 TGF-beta1 HT progeny and
