Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event in cancer progression. We previously reported that EMT up-regulates matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells. In this study, we showed that Tet Off-induced expression of Snail or SIP1, and treatment with TGF-beta1 induced EMT in terms of down-regulation of E-cadherin, and up-regulation of vimentin and MMP-2...
