Role of the arecoline/YAP1/BMP4 pathway in promoting endothelial‐mesenchymal transition in oral submucous fibrosis
9 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a potentially malignant lesion characterized by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) promotes EMT in fibrotic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms and its potential role in OSF are unclear. This study investigates whether BMP4 plays a role in the pathogenesis of OSF and explores the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The...
