A Truncated Snail1 Transcription Factor Alters the Expression of Essential EMT Markers and Suppresses Tumor Cell Migration in a Human Lung Cancer Cell Line
27 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is necessary for metastasis. Zinc- finger domain-containing transcription factors, especially Snail1, bind to E-box motifs and play a crucial role in the induction and regulation of EMT. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized if C-terminal region of Snail1 (CSnail1) may competitively bind to E-box and block cancer metastasis. METHODS: The CSnail1 gene coding sequence was...
