摘要
During epithelial - mesenchymal transition (EMT) cells loosen their intercellular contacts and leave the epithelial layer. Three microRNA ( miRNA) families modulate EMT upstream of the key cell-adhesion protein E- cadherin, highlighting the potential importance of miRNAs in EMT- dependent processes, such as mesoderm development and tumour metastasis.
