Periostin is a multifunctional extracellular matrix protein involved in various inflammatory
diseases and tumor metastasis; however, evidence regarding whether and how periostin …

Molecular mechanisms associated with tumor metastasis remain poorly understood. Here
we report that acquired expression of periostin by colon cancer cells greatly promoted …

The behavior and fate of cells in tissues largely rely upon their cross-talk with the tissue
microenvironment including neighboring cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM), and soluble …

Matricellular proteins are responsible for regulating the microenvironment, the behaviors of
surrounding cells, and the homeostasis of tissues. Periostin (POSTN), a non-structural …

Periostin actively contributes to tissue injury, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, and inflammatory
diseases; however, its role in hepatic fibrosis is unclear. Herein, we revealed that periostin …

Periostin (POSTN), a member of the matricellular protein family, is a secreted adhesion-
related protein produced in the periosteum and periodontal ligaments. Matricellular proteins …

Periostin, also called osteoblast-specific factor 2 (OSF-2), is a member of the fasciclin family
and a disulfide-linked cell adhesion protein that has been shown to be expressed …

Periostin is a secreted protein and has been shown to be frequently overexpressed in
various types of human cancers. We have previously reported that periostin potently …

Several factors have been shown to promote the growth of colorectal cancers. Here, we
provide evidence that periostin, a protein with structural and sequence homology with a TGF …

Overexpression of periostin (POSTN), an extracellular matrix protein, has been observed in
several cancers. We investigated the importance of POSTN in gastric cancer. Genome-wide …
