TGF‐β regulates isoform switching of FGF receptors and epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Abstract excerpt

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event in wound healing, tissue repair, and cancer progression in adult tissues. Here, we demonstrate that transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β induced EMT and that long‐term exposure to TGF‐β elicited the epithelial–myofibroblastic transition (EMyoT) by inactivating the MEK‐Erk pathway. During the EMT process, TGF‐β induced isoform switching of fibroblast...
