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
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
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
Carcinoma cell lines are frequently refractory to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta)-mediated cell cycle arrest. Whether and how TGF beta signaling is disrupted in the majority of human tumors, however, remains unclear. To investigate whether TGF beta signaling might be disrupted by inactiva
