ABSTRACT
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process during which cells undergo transition from a polarized epithelial phenotype to a non-polarized mesenchymal phenotype, executed by transcription factors of Twist, Snail and Zeb families. EMT plays an important role in multiple stages of cancer progression such as initiation, tumor growth, and metastasis. Some active ingredients from Chinese materia medica can inhibit EMT by regulating transcription factors and signaling pathways by multiple targets. However, their therapeutic effect was hindered due to various limitation such as solubility, stability, tissue specificity and safety. Therefore, in order to improve the druggability of active ingredients from Chinese materia medica, enhance the therapeutic effect in inhibiting tumor metastasis mediated by EMT and reduce the toxic and side effects, a variety of nano-drug delivery systems have been developed in recent years. Here, we made a review about these drug delivery systems modulating EMT and their research progress in inhibiting tumor metastasis.
