EGF and TGF-𝛽1 Effects on Thyroid Function
Normal epithelial thyroid cells in culture are inhibited by TGF-𝛽1. Instead, transformed thyroid cell lines are frequently resistant to its growth inhibitory effect. Loss of TGF-𝛽 responsiveness could be due to a reduced expression of TGF-𝛽 receptors, as shown in transformed rat thyroid cell lines a...
