Our findings demonstrate thatTricellulin promotes the metastasis of colorectal cancer by activating the TGF-β/SMAD2/3 signaling pathway, and TGF-β1 can reciprocally regulate the expression of tricellulin.We have revealed a novel mechanism by which tricellulin forms a positive feedback loop to promote the growth and metastasis of CRC. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and colorectal cancer.
