Molecular characterization of TGF-β mediated cancer cell proliferation

TGF-β inhibits epithelial cell growth through Smad-dependent induction of a cell cycle arrest at G1. During tumor progression, however, many tumor cells escape from TGF-β growth suppression due to either functional or genetic disruption of the Smad signaling pathway. In late tumor stages, TGF-β s...
