TGF-beta/Smad pathway could increase the expression of C-E-Cad to regulate GC cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition by affecting PI3K/AKT signaling.
Circ-E-Cad encodes a protein that promotes the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer via the TGF-beta/Smad/C-E-Cad/PI3K/AKT pathway.
