Epithelial-mesenchymal transition induces endoplasmic-reticulum-stress response in human colorectal tumor cells.

Tumor cells are stressed by unfavorable environmental conditions like hypoxia or starvation. Driven by the resulting cellular stress tumor cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Additionally, cellular stress is accompanied by endoplasmic reticulum-stress which induces an unfolded protein r...
