Snapshot of EMT signaling pathways. EMT in carcinoma is induced by various pathways, either by growth factors and cytokines from adjacent cells, or via cell interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM). In the paracrine mode, Receptor Tyrosine kinases (RTKs), TGFβ, Wnt and Notch can be activated. EMT could also be induced through receptors such as integrins interacting with ECM proteins like collagens, subsequently activating intracellular kinases such as Src. Signal transduction involves transcription factors and polarity genes [11, 61, 82, 88]
