23 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TGFβ-induced (TGFBI/βig-H3) is a protein inducible by TGFβ1 and secreted by many types of cells. It binds to collagen, forms part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and interacts with integrins on cell surfaces. In this study, we investigated the role of TGFBI in tumorigenesis and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Patient serum TGFBI levels were determined by ELISA. TGFBI transgenic and gene...
