Diminished Expression of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor 2 in Human Colon Cancer Promotes Tumor Growth and Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition via Persistent Interleukin-6/Stat3 SignalingSummary

Background & Aims: Chronic inflammation promotes development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). We explored the distribution of the corticotropin-releasing-hormone (CRH) family of receptors and ligands in CRC and their contribution in tumor growth and oncogenic epithelial-to-mesenchymal...
