Phenobarbital 126-139 transforming growth factor alpha Mus musculus 83-92 14742323-2 2004 Given that PB selectively promoted initiated cells harboring beta-catenin mutations during chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis and that Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is involved in both anti-apoptotic and proliferative processes, we now have extended our analysis to investigate whether promotion by PB affects the occurrence of beta-catenin mutations in c-myc/TGF-alpha-driven tumors. Phenobarbital 11-13 transforming growth factor alpha Mus musculus 362-371 14742323-3 2004 The frequency of beta-catenin activation as judged by somatic mutations and/or nuclear localization was significantly increased in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from c-myc/TGF-alpha mice treated with PB (15/28; 53.6%) as compared with that in control HCCs (2/28; 7.1%). Phenobarbital 203-205 transforming growth factor alpha Mus musculus 175-184 14742323-8 2004 These findings show that PB treatment positively selects for a cell population displaying activation of beta-catenin in c-myc/TGF-alpha HCCs.
