## Abstract Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States. Deregulation of bcl‐2 and ras family members is commonly observed in NMSC. It has been previously demonstrated that simultaneous bcl‐2 and Ha‐ras gene expression in keratinocytes results in diso

✦ Synopsis
Induction of apoptosis in transformed fibroblasts by surrounding normal cells has been discussed as a potent early control step in carcinogenesis. According to this hypothesis, tumor progression should require resistance of transformed cells against this TGF-b-triggered control mechanism. Here we show that Bcl-2, a protein involved in inhibition of apoptosis, can protect transformed cells from induction of apoptotis by surrounding cells. Rather than acting on the transformation process itself, Bcl-2 may thus represent an efficient modulator of carcinogenesis at an intercellular level.

## Abstract When Interleukin‐3 (IL‐3) dependent DA‐1 cells were cultured on hemopoietic supportive stromal cells (MS‐5), DA‐1 cells survived and proliferated in the absence of detectable IL‐3. Although IL‐3 was not produced by the MS‐5 cells, their production of granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimul
