Transformation of breast cells by truncated neurokinin-1 receptor is secondary to activation by preprotachykinin-A peptides.

abstract：:A pluripotent cell line, C3H10T1/2, is induced to undergo adipogenesis by a mixture of factors that includes a glucocorticoid such as dexamethasone. We found that expression of myostatin (MSTN), a TGF-beta family member extensively studied in muscle, was induced by dexamethasone under those differentiation conditions....
