WISP3 (CCN6) Is a Secreted Tumor-Suppressor Protein that Modulates IGF Signaling in Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal form of locally advanced breast cancer.We have found that WISP3 is lost in 80% of human IBC tumors and that it has growth- and angiogenesis-inhibitory functions in breast cancer in vitro and in vivo.WISP3 is a cysteine-rich, putatively secreted protein that belongs to GARLIC-ALLICIN the CCN family
