## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) is a crucial molecule for stimulation of breast cancer invasion and formation of bone metastases. The molecular mechanisms of how TGF‐β1 mediates these effects have yet to be completely determined. We have found that activating transcription factor
Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) increases steady-state mRNA levels of several extracellular matrix proteins in mineralized connective tissues. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a major constituent of the bone matrix, thought to initiate and regulate the formation of mineral crystals. To determine the
