TGFBI and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A previous study reported that TGFBI is frequently methylated, the loss of TGFBI is associated with paclitaxel resistance in OV (Wang et al., 2012), but the overexpression of TGFBI makes nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells sensitive to cisplatin (Bissey et al., 2018), and increase the sensitivity of human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines to etoposide, paclitaxel, cisplatin and gemcitabine (Irigoyen et al., 2010).
