A putative mechanism of S18-2-dependent EMT induction. Our data show that overexpression of S18-2 in PC3 cells enriches the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis. This in turn results in upregulation of the expression of TWIST2, which is the repressor of E-cadherin, thus, EMT is enhanced. Therefore, the more cells express S18-2 protein, the better they gain the ability of migration as shown in zebrafish embryos. [*] indicates induction of gene.
