Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Induced by TGF-β1 Is Mediated by Blimp-1–Dependent Repression of BMP-5
11 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by TGF-β1 requires Ras signaling. We recently identified the transcriptional repressor Blimp-1 (PRDM1) as a downstream effector of the NF-κB, RelB/Bcl-2/Ras-driven pathway that promotes breast cancer cell migration. As the RelB/Blimp-1 pathway similarly required Ras signaling activation, we tested whether Blimp-1 plays a role in TGF-β1-mediated EMT. Here,...
