ZEB2, a master regulator of the epithelial–mesenchymal transition, mediates trophoblast differentiation
20 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Does the upregulation of the zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) transcription factor in human trophoblast cells lead to alterations in gene expression consistent with an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and a consequent increase in invasiveness? SUMMARY ANSWER: Overexpression of ZEB2 results in an epithelial-mesenchymal shift in gene expression accompanied by a substantial increase...
