MicroRNA control of epithelial–mesenchymal transition and metastasis

Open access
Zhang, Jinsong, Ma, Li·2012·Cancer and Metastasis Reviews

Abstract

The great majority of cancer deaths are due to metastasis, which remains a poorly understood pathological process. The formation of a metastasis reflects a succession of complex steps leading to the macroscopic outgrowth of disseminated tumor cells at the secondary site. In the past 5 years, certain microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate either a single step or multiple steps of metastasis, doing so by downregulating the expression of their target genes. In this review, we discuss recent studies on the functions and molecular mechanisms of miRNAs in regulating epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer metastasis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
