lüll Key signalling nodes in mammary gland development and cancer The Snail1-Twist1 conspiracy in malignant breast cancer progression Foubert E; De Craene B; Berx GBreast Cancer Res 2010[]; 12 (3): 206Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and despite significant advances in diagnosing and treating it, metastatic spread of cancer cells results in a high mortality rate. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an embryonic program in which epithelial cells lose their characteristics and gain mesenchymal features. Therefore, EMT might play a very important role during malignant tumour progression. In this review we summarise recent advances in breast cancer research with a particular focus on the transcription factors Snail1 and Twist1. Besides discussing the role of EMT in normal mammary gland development, we describe regulatory mechanisms involving newly discovered upstream regulators and microRNAs, the association of EMT with breast cancer stem cells, and the involvement of the tumour microenvironment in breast cancer progression.|Breast Neoplasms/*metabolism/*pathology[MESH]|Disease Progression[MESH]|Epithelial Cells/metabolism/*pathology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mesoderm/metabolism/*pathology[MESH]|Nuclear Proteins/*metabolism[MESH]|Snail Family Transcription Factors[MESH]|Transcription Factors/*metabolism[MESH]|Twist-Related Protein 1/*metabolism[MESH] |
