abstract：:Some tumor cell lines secrete high concentrations of TGFbeta or IL-1. Similarly high concentrations of each of these cytokines cross-activate the other pathway: TGFbeta activates NFkappaB, and IL-1beta activates Smads. The IL-1 signaling components IRAK, MyD88, TRAF6, and TAK1 are all required for cross-activation of ...
