LEF1 — SLC22A3
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Kim et al., Cell Biol Int 2002
:
Here, we ask whether or not
LEF-1 directly introduced into epithelial cells in an adenovirus construct can
induce EMT ... Our experiments demonstrated, however, that overexpressed
LEF-1 upregulates nuclear beta-catenin and
promotes dramatic
EMT in DLD-1 epithelial tumors that retain nuclear beta-catenin ... Thus, our results demonstrate that
LEF-1 can
induce EMT directly when its transcription activity is activated by stable nuclear beta-catenin
Medici et al., Mol Biol Cell 2006

However, our results also demonstrate that a complete loss of E-cadherin and transformation to the mesenchymal phenotype are dependent on Smad signaling, which subsequently stimulates formation of
beta-catenin/LEF-1 complexes that
induce EMT
Medici et al., Mol Biol Cell 2008
:
Finally, we determined that
beta-catenin-LEF-1 complexes can
promote EMT without upstream signaling pathways
