Abstract
MiRNAs emerge as important regulators of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The Best known EMT regulatory miRNAs are targeting the transcriptional repressors of E-cadherin (E-cad). We identified miR-506 as a key EMT inhibitor through directly targeting the E-cad transcriptional repressor, SNAI2. Our recent studies showed that miR-506 simultaneously suppresses vimentin and N-cad. Thus, miR-506 possesses a multitasking property in the suppression of EMT and metastasis and thus may represent a promising tool in cancer therapeutics.Entities:
