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

## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) inhibits epithelial cell proliferation. Inactivation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway is thought to play a role in tumorigenesis. Our purpose was to clarify the correlation between TGF‐β receptors or TGF‐β1 expression and the clinicopathologic characte
## Background: Resistance to the potent growth inhibitory effects of transforming growth factor-beta (tgf-beta) is a characteristic of many malignancies. tgf-beta insensitivity has been attributed to alterations in the number and function of the tgf-beta receptors as well as disturbances of downstr
A 60-kDa glycoprotein named metanestin was identified by molecular cloning. The glycoprotein had a twice-repeated motif of Pro-Gly-Pro-Gly and carried metastasis-associated carbohydrate epitopes. The antibody to the protein portion of metanestin strongly reacted with lymph-node metastasis of transit
Recent studies have demonstrated that peroxisome proliferator activator-receptors(PPAR)-gamma is expressed in various cancer tissues and its ligand induces growth arrest of these cancer cells through apoptosis. In our study, we investigated the expression of PPAR-alpha, beta and gamma in human bladd
