Simple Summary Cancer progression and metastasis is associated with the transformation
of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells, a process known as epithelial–mesenchymal …

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF, CCN2) is a secreted matricellular protein, the
functions of which depend on the interactions with other molecules in the microcellular …

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is involved in human cancer development and
progression. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in many …

To clarify the multiple functionality of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), we examined
the effects of nascent CTGF within the cell by transient expression. In Cos‐7 cells …

Modulation of the cytoskeletal architecture was shown to regulate the expression of CTGF

Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death among women with gynecologic cancer.
We examined molecular profiles of fibroblasts from normal ovary and high-grade serous …

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine-rich mitogenic peptide that binds
heparin and is secreted by fibroblasts after activation with transforming growth factor beta …

Transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β acts as a tumor suppressor during cancer initiation, but
as a tumor promoter during tumor progression. It has become increasingly clear that TGF‐β …

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a member of the CCN family of secreted, matrix-
associated proteins encoded by immediate early genes that play various roles in …

All members of the Ctgf, Cyr61, and Nov (CCN) family share a high degree of sequence
homology and conservation of structural motifs and domains. Here, we present data about a …
