Abstract:

Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) is a key regulator of epithelial cell proliferation,immune function and angiogenesis. Because TGF-β signaling maintains epithelial homeostasis,dysregulated TGF-β signaling is common in many malignancies, including oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC). Defective TGF-β signaling in epithelial cells causes hyperproliferation, reduced apoptosis and increased genomic instability, and the compensatory increase in TGF-β production by tumor epithelial cells with TGF-β signaling defects further promotes tumor growth and metastases by increasing angiogenesis and inflammation in tumor stromal cells. We review the role of TGF-β signaling in the development of OSCC.

Key words: Transforming growth factor-β, Oral squamous cell carcinoma, Smad
