Dual roles of myocardin-related transcription factors in epithelial–mesenchymal transition via <i>slug</i> induction and actin remodeling
3 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical process occurring during embryonic development and in fibrosis and tumor progression. Dissociation of cell-cell contacts and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton are major events of the EMT. Here, we show that myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs; also known as MAL and MKL) are critical mediators of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta)...
