ZEB1 Promotes Invasiveness of Colorectal Carcinoma Cells through the Opposing Regulation of uPA and PAI-1
23 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Carcinoma cells enhance their invasive capacity through dedifferentiation and dissolution of intercellular adhesions. A key activator of this process is the ZEB1 transcription factor, which is induced in invading cancer cells by canonical Wnt signaling (β-catenin/TCF4). Tumor invasiveness also entails proteolytic remodeling of the peritumoral stroma. This study aimed to investigate the potential...
