Role of Transforming Growth Factor-ß Signaling in Cancer

Signaling from transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) through its unique transmembrane receptor serine–threonine kinases plays a complex role in carcinogenesis, having both tumor suppressor and oncogenic activities. Tumor cells often escape from the antiproliferative effects of TGF-ß by mutational inactivation or dysregulated expression of components in its signaling pathway. Decreased receptor function and altered ratios of the TGF-ß type I and type II receptors found in many tumor cells compromise the tumor suppressor activities of TGF-ß and enable its oncogenic functions. Recent identification of a family of intracellular mediators, the Smads, has provided new paradigms for understanding mechanisms of subversion of TGF-ß signaling by tumor cells. In addition, several proteins recently have been identified that can modulate the Smad-signaling pathway and may also be targets for mutation in cancer. Other pathways such as various mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades also contribute substantially to TGF-ß signaling. Understanding the interplay between these signaling cascades as well as the complex patterns of cross-talk with other signaling pathways is an important area of investigation that will ultimately contribute to understanding of the bifunctional tumor suppressor/oncogene role of TGF-ß in carcinogenesis.
