Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely malignant tumor in humans. Thus, understanding the tumorigenesis of PDAC appears to help develop efficient therapy. Here, we show that activated TGFβ receptor signaling induces apoptosis of pancreatic carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that activation of TGFβ receptor signaling may prevent development of PDAC.
