Abstract

Significant progress has been made in the field of cancer metastasis, and the molecular mechanism of cancer metastasis is being studied extensively. Recent studies revealed that some oncogenes and metastasis-associated genes play important roles in cancer metastasis. Some nuclear transcription factors have appeared to be involved in this metastasis. Ets-related E1AF confers the invasive phenotype on cancer cells. E1AF that acts as a transcription factor is believed to play an important role in cancer invasiveness/metastasis through transcriptions of metastasis-related genes.
