IFNG and neoplasm: For example, regulation of tumor metastasis by TGF-β/SMAD signaling was found to be achieved by impairing the activity of tumor-infiltrating T cells [237,238], i.e., the infiltration level of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells and the proliferation and activity of T cells (such as the secretion of granzyme, FAS ligand (FASL), perforin and interferon (IFN)-γ) [239,240].
