We report here that the antiestrogen tamoxifen (TAM) induces cell death in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. We assessed the type of cell death induced by TAM in this breast cancer cell line on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics. Dying cells showed morphological characteri

In mouse C3H 10T1/2 cells, we previously reported that TGF-beta1 first delays and later potentiates EGF-induced DNA synthesis corresponding to an inhibition of EGF-induced cyclin D1 expression at t = 13 h. We report here that in accord with DNA synthesis kinetics, TGF-beta1 initially suppresses EGF-
## Abstract TGF‐β signaling is indispensible for development of the nervous system since it regulates ontogenetic cell death. The recently identified TGF‐β‐inducible zinc finger protein Tieg3/Klf11 belongs to the family of Sp1/Klf‐like transcription factors and shares all structural and functional
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) inhibits classical mitochondrial pathways of apoptosis by either directly stabilizing mitochondrial membranes or modulating specific upstream targets. Furthermore, UDCA regulates apoptosis-related genes from transforming growth factor 1 (TGF-1)-induced hepatocyte apopto
