Trefoil factor family (TFF) consists of three members, including TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3. TFF has such functions as maintaining gut mucosal integrity, promoting epithelial cell restitution, as well as cell signal transduction, modulating apoptosis and enhancing invasion. Therefore, TFF plays crucial roles in the process of inflammation and tumorigenesis. Researches recently have indicated that TFF3 plays an important role in gastric cancer, especially in intestinal gastric carcinoma.
