Transforming growth factor‐β, matrix metalloproteinases, and urokinase‐type plasminogen activator interaction in the cancer epithelial to mesenchymal transition
19 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic factor that acts as a tumor suppressor in the early stages, while it exerts tumor promoting activities in advanced stages of cancer development. One of the hallmarks of cancer progression is the capacity of cancer cells to migrate and invade surrounding tissues with subsequent metastasis to different organs. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) together with...
