Transcription profiling of human MCF10A cells subjected to ionizing radiation and treatment with transforming growth factor beta-1
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFbeta) is a tumor suppressor during the initial stage of tumorigenesis but it can switch to a tumor promoter during neoplastic progression. Ionizing radiation (IR) both a carcinogen and a therapeutic agent induces TGFbeta activation in vivo. We now show that IR sensitizes human …
