  • Malignant tumor cells frequently show deregulation and hyperactivation of signalling pathways, one of which is represented by the TGFβ signal transduction pathway [ 1 ] . TGFβ has been shown to potently inhibit proliferation of most epithelial, endothelial and hematopoietic cells [ 2 ] . However, during tumor progression malignant cells may become refractory to TGFβ-mediated cell cycle arrest.

  • Other mechanisms that may participate in the RU 486-induced inhibition of hepatic apoptosis include the fact that this compound blocks the inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on suppressors of cytokine signalling in the liver [ 8 ] . This family of proteins is induced by growth hormones and cytokines, and is strongly repressed in vivo by glucocorticoids [ 8 ] . Up-regulation of these proteins by RU 486 [ 8 ] , coupled with significant increase in hepatic TNFα level found in animals treated with RU 486 [ 12 ] , may contribute to the inhibition of apoptosis observed in our study (Fig 1B).
