## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) family members are polypeptides with dual tumor suppressive and oncogenic effects. They signal through serine/threonine kinase receptor complexes, which phosphorylate cytoplasmic mediators, the Smads. Upon phosphorylation, Smads translocate to the nu
Studies presented in this report were designed to investigate the effects of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-01) on epidermal growth factor (EGF)mediated stimulation of CAMP accumulation in cardiac myocytes and elucidate the mechanism(s) involved in this modulation. TGF-PI (20 pM) treatment of ca
Biliary tract carcinoma is a common neoplasm in Japan, and its treatment is difficult because it tends to promote fibrosis and easily invades surrounding tissues. To better characterize the biological features of this carcinoma, we investigated abnormalities in the transforming growth factor- (TGF-
Alterations in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) pathway are implicated in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. We hypothesize that alterations in the TGF-beta pathway contribute to differential sensitivity of mice to the colon carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM). A/J (sensitive) and AKR/J
