Induction of podoplanin by transforming growth factor‐β in human fibrosarcoma
26 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Podoplanin/aggrus is increased in tumors and its expression was associated with tumor malignancy. Podoplanin on cancer cells serves as a platelet-aggregating factor, which is associated with the metastatic potential. However, regulators of podoplanin remain to be determined. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) regulates many physiological events, including tumorigenesis. Here, we found that TGF-beta...
