Hypoxia‐driven paracrine osteopontin/integrin αvβ3 signaling promotes pancreatic cancer cell epithelial–mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell‐like properties by modulating forkhead box protein M1
Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), a key component of the tumor microenvironment, contribute to tumor invasion, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Osteopontin (OPN), a phosphorylated glycoprotein, is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. However, OPN expression in PSCs and its potential roles in tumor–st...
