ABSTRACT
Snail transcription factors play essential roles in embryonic development and participate in many physiological processes. However, these genes have been implicated in the development and progression of various types of cancer. In epithelial ovarian cancer, high expression of these transcription factors is usually associated with the acquisition of a more aggressive phenotype and thus, considered to be a poor prognostic factor. Numerous molecular signals create a complex network of signaling pathways regulating the expression and stability of Snails, which in turn control genes involved in vital cellular functions of ovarian cancer cells, such as invasion, survival, proliferation and chemoresistance.
