Strictosamide and mitraphylline inhibit cancer cell motility by suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition via integrin α4-mediated signaling by Mücahit Varlı, Kyungha Lee, Tran The Bach, Tran Duc Binh, Hangun Kim, Kyo Bin Kang

“…The alteration of the mRNA expression of the EMT effectors and transcription factors suggested that the EMT signaling pathway is related to the suppression of cancer cell motility by both compounds. RT-PCR gene array suggested inhibition of integrin α4 signaling as a potential mechanism of the EMT inhibition, which was supported by the quantitative analysis of the mRNA expressions of the related genes. …”
