LTBP-2 confers pleiotropic suppression and promotes dormancy in a growth factor permissive microenvironment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Highlights ► LTBP-2 was significantly down-regulated in NPC cell lines and biopsies. ► LTBP-2 silencing is associated with promoter hypermethylation. ► LTBP-2 suppresses malignancy by impairing in vitro & in vivo cell growth properties. ► LTBP-2 pleiotropically inhibits angiogenesis, VEGF secret...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► LTBP-2 was significantly down-regulated in NPC cell lines and biopsies. ► LTBP-2 silencing is associated with promoter hypermethylation. ► LTBP-2 suppresses malignancy by impairing in vitro & in vivo cell growth properties. ► LTBP-2 pleiotropically inhibits angiogenesis, VEGF secretion and migration. ► LTBP-2 confers tumor cell dormancy in microenvironment favorable for metastasis.
