In DU145 prostate and HT29 colon cancer cells, the chelators DFO and Dp44mT attenuated TGF-β-induced loss of E-cadherin and β-catenin at the cell membrane (Figure 5), and also decreased TGF-β-induced up-regulation of vimentin [156]. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and malignant colon neoplasm.
