摘要
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) ligand is a multifunctional growth factor that regulates various cell behavior, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. Because TGF-beta is a potent growth inhibitor, abnormalities in TGF-beta signaling result in carcinogenesis. In addition to tumor suppressor function, TGF-beta acts as an oncogenic factor. In particular, TGF-beta signaling plays an important role during metastasis of breast cancer. Recently, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been shown to confer malignant properties such as cell motility and invasiveness to cancer cells and plays crucial roles during cancer metastasis. Moreover, breast stem-like cells exhibit EMT properties. Because TGF-beta is a potent regulator of EMT as well as cell stemness, TGF-beta signaling might play a crucial role in the regulation of breast cancer stem cells.
