The FGFR1 inhibitor PD173074 induces mesenchymal–epithelial transition through the transcription factor AP-1

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial process in cancer progression that provides cancer cells with the ability to escape from the primary focus, invade stromal tissues and migrate to distant regions. Cell lines that lack E-cadherin show increased tumorigenesis and metastasis, and the expression levels of E-cadherin and Snail correlate inversely with the prognosis of patients suffering...
