NAG-1/GDF15 as a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer: inhibition of β-catenin and NF-κB pathways via interaction with EpCAM
2 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
NAG-1/GDF15, a tumor suppressor, is synthesized as a pro-form in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and undergoes cleavage to generate its mature form. While the biological function of pro-NAG-1/GDF15 remains unclear, our study reveals its crucial role in suppressing oncogenic signaling. We demonstrate that pro-NAG-1/GDF15 is predominantly retained within cells, whereas its mature form is secreted into the media. The...
