Silencing of TGF-β1 in tumor cells impacts MMP-9 in tumor microenvironment

Abstract Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 contributes to autocrine and paracrine functions in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The present study examined the effects of TGF-β1 crosstalk in TME and its role in mediating tumor formation and progression by targeted abrogation of TGF-β1 expression i...
