The molecular regulatory mechanisms for MET in OS cells. The EMT-inducing transcription factors including SNAIL, SLUG, TWIST1 and ZEB1 are expressed in OS cells, which directly or indirectly repress the expression of epithelial genes such as E-cadherin to maintain mesenchymal cell features. MET is initiated by inhibiting EMT-TFs through activating upstream signaling pathways such as SYT-SSX1/2, OVOL2 and miRNAs or suppressing AMF/PGI or LRP5 in OS cells.
