Activin Upregulation by NF-κB Is Required to Maintain Mesenchymal Features of Cancer Stem–like Cells in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
28 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Soluble growth factors and cytokines within the tumor microenvironment aid in the induction of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Although EMT promotes the development of cancer-initiating cells (CIC), cellular mechanisms by which cancer cells maintain mesenchymal phenotypes remain poorly understood. Work presented here indicates that induction of EMT stimulates non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to...
