The Transcription Factor Snail Induces Tumor Cell Invasion through Modulation of the Epithelial Cell Differentiation Program
15 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Abberant activation of the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells is a late event in tumor progression. A key inducer of this transition is the transcription factor Snail, which represses E-cadherin. We report that conditional expression of the human transcriptional repressor Snail in colorectal cancer cells induces an epithelial dedifferentiation program that coincides with a drastic change...
