TGFβ1 and Smad3 play an important role in the process of EMT. TGFβ1 regulates the expression of Jagged1 by modulating Notch signaling. Jagged1 is related to tumor invasion, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance, and tumor immune escape. The aims of this study are to examine deregulation of TGFβ1-Smad3-Jagged1-Notch1-Slug signaling in TSCC and to investigate its roles in TSCC progression.
