Three distinct roles for TGF-beta during intercellular induction of apoptosis: a review.

Abstract:

:During intercellular induction of apoptosis, transformed fibroblasts are eliminated through the action of neighbouring nontransformed cells. TGF-beta thereby plays three distinct and central roles. a) TGF-beta released by transformed cells or added exogenously to the assay system triggers nontransformed cells to release a shortlived apoptosis inducing factor, which is specifically directed against transformed cells. b) TGF-beta is involved in the maintenance of the transformed state, which is required for expression of sensitivity for intercellular induction of apoptosis. c) TGF-beta further sensitizes transformed cells through downmodulation of their endogenous survival factors, which control a constitutively expressed apoptosis machinery. These data demonstrate that TGF-beta which is utilized by transformed fibroblasts for the maintenance of their transformed state, causes recognition of transformed cells by their nontransformed neighbours and triggers and enhances an apoptosis-inducing response which finally causes elimination of potential tumor cells.

  • Radiotherapy for giant cell tumors of the bone: a safe and effective treatment modality.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Giant cell tumor of the bone (GCTB) is a benign or sometimes semi-malignant neoplasm accounting for 5% of all primary bone tumors. This type of tumor has been historically considered as radioresistant, but nowadays radiotherapy (RT) is used in unresectable, recurrent or incompletely resected cases. Since the...
