Abstract

Stromal cells can have a significant impact on the carcinogenic process in adjacent epithelia. The role of transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β) signaling in such epithelial-mesenchymal interactions was determined by conditional inactivation of the TGF-β type II receptor gene in mouse fibroblasts ( Tgfbr2 fspKO ). The loss of TGF-β responsiveness in fibroblasts resulted in intraepithelial neoplasia in prostate and invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the forestomach, both associated with an increased abundance of stromal cells. Activation of paracrine hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signaling was identified as one possible mechanism for stimulation of epithelial proliferation. Thus, TGF-β signaling in fibroblasts modulates the growth and oncogenic potential of adjacent epithelia in selected tissues.

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.
