Role of AP-2α and MAPK7 in the regulation of autocrine TGF-β/miR-200b signals to maintain epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is characterized by early lymphatic, metastasis, and low survival rate. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is able to induce tumor metastasis. Although the TGF-β/miR-200 signals promote EMT in various types of cancer, the regulatory mechanism in CCA...
