ABSTRACT
Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β), a member of the TGF-β superfamily, plays a role in multiple biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and tissue fibrosis, etc. Normally, TGF-βs widely express in normal tissues and most cell lines, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, But in pathological conditions, Cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts also produce and secrete TGF-β. Scirrhous gastric cancer (SGC) is a special subtype of gastric cancer with rapid development, frequent peritoneal implantation, and accompanied by significant interstitial fibrosis deposition. these biological behavior characteristics all suggest that its occurrence and development are closely related to TGF-β expression, and TGF-β is considered to be associated with poor prognosis of the SGC. The use of antibodies and inhibitors of TGF-β and its signaling pathways can reduce the invasiveness of cancer cells and improve the prognosis of SGC patients. This paper reviews the expression and significance of TGF-β in SGC.
