Twist1 promotes breast cancer invasion and metastasis by silencing Foxa1 expression

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Twist1’s silencing effect on Foxa1 expression is largelyresponsible for Twist1-induced migration, invasion and metastasis, but less responsible for Twist2-induced mesenchymal morphogenesis and expression of certain EMT markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breast tumor cell-specific knockout of Twist1 inhibits cancer cell plasticity, dissemination, and lung metastasis in mice.

TL;DR: It is found that Twist1 is coexpressed with multiple other epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-inducing transcription factors (TFs) in small subsets of primary and circulating breast tumor cells, which most likely are responsible for disseminating into the circulation and metastasizing to the lung in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of transcriptional coactivator AIB1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by enhancing cell proliferation and invasiveness.

TL;DR: Results show that overexpression of AIB1 promotes human HCC progression by enhancing cell proliferation and invasiveness and might be a useful molecular target for HCC prognosis and treatment.
