Antibody blockade of the Cripto CFC domain suppresses tumor cell growth in vivo.
Cripto, a cell surface-associated protein belonging to the EGF-CFC family of growth factor-like molecules, is overexpressed in many human solid tumors, including 70-80% of breast and colon tumors,… Expand

Cripto-1 Activates Nodal- and ALK4-Dependent and -Independent Signaling Pathways in Mammary Epithelial Cells
ABSTRACT Cripto-1 (CR-1), an epidermal growth factor-CFC (EGF-CFC) family member, has a demonstrated role in embryogenesis and mammary gland development and is overexpressed in several human tumors.… Expand

Target-based agents against ErbB receptors and their ligands: a novel approach to cancer treatment.
The ErbB receptors and their cognate ligands that belong to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of peptides are involved in the pathogenesis of different types of carcinomas. In fact, the ErbB… Expand

The role of EGF-related peptides in tumor growth.
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of peptides encodes several proteins that can function as growth factors. The EGF-like peptides, with the exception of proteins of the EGF-CFC subfamily, bind… Expand

Cripto-1: a multifunctional modulator during embryogenesis and oncogenesis
It is increasingly evident that genes known to perform critical roles during early embryogenesis, particularly during stem cell renewal, pluripotentiality and survival, are also expressed during the… Expand

Epithelial mesenchymal transition is a characteristic of hyperplasias and tumors in mammary gland from MMTV‐Cripto‐1 transgenic mice
Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) facilitates migration and invasion of epithelial tumor cells. Cripto‐1 (CR‐1), a member of the epidermal growth factor‐CFC protein family increases migration… Expand

Role of Cripto-1 during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in development and cancer.
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical multistep process that converts epithelial cells to more motile and invasive mesenchymal cells, contributing to body patterning and… Expand

Requirement of Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor of Cripto-1 for trans Activity as a Nodal Co-receptor*
Cripto-1 (CR-1) has an indispensable role as a Nodal co-receptor for patterning of body axis in embryonic development. CR-1 is reported to have a paracrine activity as a Nodal co-receptor, although… Expand

A Nodal- and ALK4-independent signaling pathway activated by Cripto-1 through Glypican-1 and c-Src.
Human Cripto-1 (CR-1) is a member of the epidermal growth factor-Cripto FRL1 Cryptic family that has been shown to function as a coreceptor with the type I Activin serine-threonine kinase receptor… Expand
