Abstract:Even if the mortality rate in breast cancer (BC) has recently decreased, development of metastases and drug resistance are still challenges to successful systemic treatment. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), as well as epigenetic dynamic modifications, plays a pivotal role in invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. Here, we report that WDR5, the core subunit of histone H3 K4 methyltransferase complexes, is crucial in coordinating EMT and regulating epigenetic changes that drive metastasis. We … Show more
