Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo and In vitro Evidence for Transforming Growth Factor-β1-Mediated Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: Immunohistochemistry in a well-characterized set of adenocarcinoma tissues showed down- regulation of epithelial markers and up-regulation of mesenchymal markers with concomitant transforming growth factor-beta1 expression at the invasive margin compared with the central tumor, suggesting that TGF- beta1-mediated EMT may be relevant in esophageal carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
