In an orthotopic immunocompromised breast cancer model, overexpression of syndecan‐2 in TASCs significantly enhanced TGFβ signalling (SMAD7, PAI‐1), tumour growth and metastasis, whereas reducing levels of SDC2 in TASCs attenuated TGFβ signalling (SMAD7, PAI‐1, CXCR4), tumour growth and metastasis. Here, TGFB1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
