TGFβ1 Inhibits the Formation of Benign Skin Tumors, but Enhances Progression to Invasive Spindle Carcinomas in Transgenic Mice
Open accessAbstract
TGFbeta1 has been implicated in cell cycle control and carcinogenesis. To address the exact function of TGFbeta1 in skin carcinogenesis in vivo, mice with TGFbeta1 expression targeted to keratinocytes were subjected to long-term chemical carcinogenesis treatment. TGFbeta1 showed biphasic action during multistage skin carcinogenesis, acting early as a tumor suppressor but later enhancing the malignant phenotype. The transgenics were more resistant to induction of benign skin tumors than controls, but the malignant conversion rate was vastly increased. There was also a higher incidence of spindle cell carcinomas, which expressed high levels of endogenous TGFbeta3, suggesting that TGFbeta1 elicits an epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vivo and that TGFbeta3 might be involved in maintenance of the spindle cell phenotype. The action of TGFbeta1 in enhancing malignant progression may mimic its proposed function in modulating epithelial cell plasticity during embryonic development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
