Twist1 and AP-1 cooperatively upregulate integrin α5 expression to induce invasion and the epithelial–mesenchymal transition
18 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important process implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis. Twist1 is a transcription factor that induces EMT, including E-cadherin suppression and cancer cell migration and invasion; hence it promotes cancer metastasis. Twist1 directly or indirectly regulates the expression of various genes and cellular functions involved in cancer progression. However, the...
