PLA2G10 and chronic gastritis: And the blockade of TGF-β signalling delayed the progression of CNAG to CAG, as evidenced by a reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration, a more regular cellular arrangement, and a reduction in collagen deposition.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our study shows that PLA2G10 plays a key role in the progression of chronic gastritis and highlights the important role played by the TGF-β signalling pathway in this process.
