The dynamic roles of TGF‐β in cancer
Abstract
The transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signalling pathway plays a critical and dual role in the progression of human cancer. During the early phase of tumour progression, TGF‐β acts as a tumour suppressor, exemplified by deletions or mutations in the core components of the TGF‐β signalling pathway. On the contrary, TGF‐β also promotes processes that support tumour progression such as tumour cell invasion, dissemination, and immune evasion. Consequently, the functional outcome of the TGF‐β response is strongly context‐dependent including cell, tissue, and cancer type. In this review, we describe the molecular signalling pathways employed by TGF‐β in cancer and how these, when perturbed, may lead to the development of cancer. Concomitantly with our increased appreciation of the molecular mechanisms that govern TGF‐β signalling, the potential to therapeutically target specific oncogenic sub‐arms of the TGF‐β pathway increases. Indeed, clinical trials with systemic TGF‐β signalling inhibitors for treatment of cancer patients have been initiated. However, considering the important role of TGF‐β in cardiovascular and many other tissues, careful screening of patients is warranted to minimize unwanted on‐target side effects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
