Abstract

Western blotting coupled with immunoprecipitation showed that activin A treatment induced phosphorylation of Smad2 but not complex formation of Smad2/4 in human colon cancer-derived HT-29 cells. Because HT-29 cells expressed neither Smad4 mRNA nor Smad4 protein, it is suggested that deletion of Smad4 leads to a defect of formation of Smad2/4 complex upon activin A stimulation in HT-29 cells.
