1 Lithium inhibits tumor lymphangiogenesis and metastasis through the inhibition of TGFBIp expression in cancer cells. Lithium transforming growth factor beta induced Homo sapiens
2 Lithium reduces the expression of transforming growth factor-beta-induced protein (TGFBIp) in colon cancer cells by inhibiting Smad3 phosphorylation via GSK3beta inactivation. Lithium transforming growth factor beta induced Homo sapiens
3 Moreover, lithium inhibits lymphatic endothelial cell migration, which is increased upon TGFBIp expression in tumor cells. Lithium transforming growth factor beta induced Homo sapiens
4 In tumor xenografts model, lithium was found to prevent metastasis to the lungs, liver, and lymph nodes by inhibiting TGFBIp-induced tumor lymphangiogenesis. Lithium transforming growth factor beta induced Homo sapiens
5 Collectively, our findings demonstrate a novel role of lithium in the inhibition of colon cancer metastasis by blocking TGFBIp expression, and thereby TGFBIp-induced lymphangiogenesis, in primary tumors. Lithium transforming growth factor beta induced Homo sapiens
6 Collectively, our findings demonstrate a novel role of lithium in the inhibition of colon cancer metastasis by blocking TGFBIp expression, and thereby TGFBIp-induced lymphangiogenesis, in primary tumors. Lithium transforming growth factor beta induced Homo sapiens
