Ultraviolet radiation stimulates expression of Snail family transcription factors in keratinocytes
12 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
The related zinc finger transcription factors Slug and Snail modulate epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT), the conversion of sessile epithelial cells into migratory fibroblast-like cells. EMT occurs during development, wound healing, and tumor progression. Growth factors, acting through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, regulate expression of Slug and Snail. Expression of Snail family...
