ZEB2 upregulates integrin α5 expression through cooperation with Sp1 to induce invasion during epithelial–mesenchymal transition of human cancer cells
6 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process implicated in tumor invasion, metastasis, embryonic development and wound healing. ZEB2 is a transcription factor involved in EMT that represses E-cadherin transcription. Although E-cadherin downregulation is a major event during EMT and tumor progression, E-cadherin reduction is probably not sufficient for full invasiveness. The mechanisms by which E-cadherin...
