## 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

## Abstract In order to ascertain autocrine growth factors in esophageal carcinomas, we analysed expression of mRNAs and proteins for epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor‐α (TGF‐α) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in 6 esophageal carcinoma cell lines. Gene alteration
Human colon carcinoma cell lines secrete transforminggrowth factor-a (TGF-a). Previous work indicated that the apparent m.w. of the TGF-a secreted by these cells ranged between 5 and 25 kDa. The more differentiated CEO cell line secreted a higher percentage of high m.w. TGF-a than did the poorly dif
