Activation of the Erk Pathway Is Required for TGF-β1-Induced EMT In Vitro

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) can be tumorsuppressive through the activation of the Smadmediated signaling pathway. TGF-β1 can also enhance tumor progression by stimulating epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (EMT) through additional pathways. EMT is characterized by the acquisition of a f...
