1 SP cells were restored upon the removal of TGF-beta and the reversion of the cells to an epithelial phenotype, and smad3-specific siRNA reduced SP abundance in response to TGF-beta. sp transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 SP cells were restored upon the removal of TGF-beta and the reversion of the cells to an epithelial phenotype, and smad3-specific siRNA reduced SP abundance in response to TGF-beta. sp transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 In conclusion, TGF-beta-induced EMT by smad-dependent signaling pathway promotes cancer development and anti-cancer drug resistant phenotype by augmenting the abundance of GBC-SD SP cells, and a better understanding of mechanisms involved in TGF-beta-induced EMT may provide a novel strategy for preventing cancer progression. sp transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
