Enrichment of AU-rich Element Containing mRNAs during Intestinal Cell Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition: Roles, Mechanisms, and Significance

Colon cancer progression is frequently characterized by activating mutations in Ras and emergence of the tumor promoting effects of TGF-beta signaling. Ras-inducible rat intestinal epithelial cells (RIE:iRas) undergo a well described epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), acquiring an invasive...
