Thus, we analyzed the mRNA expression levels of TGF-β isoforms (TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3) and their receptors (TβRI and TβRII) by qRT-PCR in this panel of five human breast cancer cell lines in cultures that had reached the same confluence level (Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene TGFB2 and breast carcinoma.
