Abstract

Lin et al. demonstrate that PAI-1 secreted by adipose stromal cells interacts with LRP1 to repress TGF-β/SMAD4-regulated genes linked to cellular junction and adhesion complexes. This action disrupts cell-cell communication and facilitates the development of obesity-driven endometrial cancer.
