Accordingly, adipose-derived MSCs promoted the growth of ovarian cancer cells by stabilizing TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif, also known as WWTR1), and this impact seemed to be dependent on MSC-mediated upregulation of the transcription factor PAX8 (Paired-box 8) in ovarian cancer cells [182]. This evidence concerns the gene WWTR1 and ovarian carcinoma.
