Model for POSTN modulated ovarian cancer malignancy. The diagram illustrates POSTN-mediated signaling axis to induce ERK-p38 and IKKβ-mediated NF-κB activation. This leads to cytokines/chemokines production, as well as monocyte mobilization and differentiation to enrich M2 macrophages and also induces TGF-β2 expression to activate CAFs in the tumor microenvironment
