Research progress of epithelial mesenchymal transition mediated by FOX family in tumor metastasis / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Epithelial mesenchymal transition ( EMT) is one of the important biological processes in tumor invasion and metastasis . However , due to the complexity of EMT signaling pathway and its unclear molecular mechanism , the treatment of EMT is still a worldwide problem .But many studies have proved that EMT is not an irreversible process .In recent years , the research of FOX gene family in EMT shows its important role in tumor metastasis . This review focuses on the FOX-mediated EMT process in many kinds of tumor , aiming to have a better understanding of EMT signaling network , and provide a new target for the effective pre-vention of EMT .
