Isolation and molecular characterization of the porcine transforming growth factor beta type I receptor (TGFBR1) gene.
The transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) family is essential for normal growth and development of different organ systems. Here we describe the isolation and molecular characterization of the full-length cDNA and the determination of the genomic DNA sequence of the porcine TGFBR1 gene. The full-length TGFBR1 cDNA 1813 bp contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 1512 bp encoding a TGFBR1 pr...
متن کاملMutational analysis of activin/transforming growth factor-beta type I and type II receptor kinases in human pituitary tumors.
Genetic mutation or loss of activin/transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) receptor function has been shown in human lymphoid, breast, and colorectal tumors as well as Hep2B and Mv1Lu cell lines. Although activin stimulates FSHbeta biosynthesis and secretion, a large percentage of human gonadotroph tumors have previously been demonstrated to be nonresponsive to characterized activin effects....
متن کاملInt7G24A variant of transforming growth factor-beta receptor type I is associated with invasive breast cancer.
PURPOSE The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway has been frequently implicated in breast cancer. An intronic variant (Int7G24A) of TGF-beta receptor type I (TGFBR1) is associated with kidney and bladder cancers in our recent study. We hypothesize that this germline variant may be involved in development and progression of breast cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Case-contro...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta receptor type I gene is frequently mutated in ovarian carcinomas.
Ovarian carcinomas (OCs), particularly recurrent OCs, are frequently resistant to transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta-mediated growth inhibition. Mutations in the TGF-beta receptor type II (TbetaR-II) gene are only evident in a minority of OCs, suggesting that other alterations of the TGF-beta signaling pathway may be involved in OC. Using PCR, cold single-strand conformation polymorphism, an...
متن کاملLatent transforming growth factor binding protein 4 regulates transforming growth factor beta receptor stability.
Mutations in the gene for the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4 (LTBP4) cause autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1C. To understand the molecular disease mechanisms of this disease, we investigated the impact of LTBP4 loss on transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling. Despite elevated extracellular TGFβ activity, downstream signaling molecules of the TGFβ pathway, ...
