Induction of transforming growth factor beta 1 in human breast cancer in vivo following tamoxifen treatment.
We have investigated the ability of tamoxifen to regulate members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family in human breast cancers in vivo. Using immunohistochemical techniques, we find that 3 months of tamoxifen treatment causes a consistent induction of extracellular TGF-beta 1 in breast cancer biopsies, compared with matched pretreatment samples from the same patient. The ind...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta signaling in stem cells and cancer.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and TGF-beta-related proteins, such as the bone morphogenetic proteins, have emerged as key regulators of stem cell renewal and differentiation. These proteins have disparate roles in regulating the biology of embryonic stem cells and tumor suppression, and they help define the selection of cell fate and the progression of differentiation along a linea...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta signaling and ubiquitinators in cancer.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) represents a large family of growth and differentiation factors that mobilize complex signaling networks to regulate cellular differentiation, proliferation, motility, adhesion, and apoptosis. TGF-beta signaling is tightly regulated by multiple complex mechanisms, and its deregulation plays a key role in the progression of many forms of cancer. Upon li...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta signaling in breast cancer.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional polypeptide that regulates cell growth, differentiation, and extracellular matrix formation. Studies on genetically engineered animal models have demonstrated that TGF-beta-mediated signaling pathway plays a critical role in both normal development and tumorigenesis of the breast. In pathogenesis of breast cancer, the role of TGF-b...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor Beta-1 in Human Colorectal Cancer Patients
Aim: Colorectal cancer patients are treated with surgery and sometimes radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) acts both as an inhibitor of tumor growth and as a promoter of tumor progression. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of TGF-β1 in plasma in colorectal cancer patients and relate these to the effect of clinicopathological variables. Metho...
