Autonomous proliferation of MeWo human melanoma cell lines in serum-free medium: secretion of growth-stimulating activities.

abstract：:Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta1) is a potent negative regulator of cell growth that transduces signals through interactions with type I and II receptors. Abnormal expression and mutational alterations of these receptors have been observed in several human malignancies. In this study, we investigated the exp...

abstract：:In mammals, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is found in 3 highly homologous isoforms that exert their effects via heteromeric complexes of type-I and type-II receptors (TbetaR-I and TbetaR-II). TGF-beta regulates the growth and metabolism of various cell types, including keratinocytes. We have investigated ...
