What's a GeneRIF?

SNAI2 overexpression significantly increased FSCN1 expression at both mRNA and protein level. FSCN1 overexpression reduced the expression of E-cadherin and Claudin 1, but increased the expression of Vimentin and N-cadherin in SCC9 and SCC-15 cells. It is inferred that FSCN1 is a downstream effector of SNAI2 in promoting EMT in HNSC cells.
Title: FSCN1 is upregulated by SNAI2 and promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
S100beta-positive cells express Slug and that its expression is important for subsequent migration and proliferation.

Coexpression of c-Rel and CK2 or DMBA induce Slug and maammary cancer invasiveness.
Title: Green tea polyphenols reverse cooperation between c-Rel and CK2 that induces the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, slug, and an invasive phenotype.
Oncogenic ras induces upregulation of the transcriptional repressor SLUG and subsequent downregulation of the junctional protein E-cadherin.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
