Core Tip	Cyr61/CTGF/Nov (CCN) proteins are matricellular proteins responsible for many physiological and pathological processes, including carcinogenesis. The prototypical CCN family protein is composed of an N-terminal secretory signal peptide and four structural modules. Several truncated variants participate in the carcinogenesis of gastrointestinal tract cancers. The role of CCNs in carcinogenesis is tumor-type and context-dependent. The evidence suggests that CCN family proteins play important roles in gastric cancer (GC) carcinogenic processes. Recent CCN targeting agents, including monoclonal antibodies, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA interference compounds, may be helpful in future GC therapeutics.
