TGFβ2-induced formation of lipid droplets supports acidosis-driven EMT and the metastatic spreading of cancer cells
The tumour microenvironment is known to have an acidic pH but how this influences cancer cell phenotype is unclear. Here, the authors show that tumour cells upregulate TGF-β2 under acidosis, which leads to the increased formation of lipid droplets allowing for invasiveness and metastases.
