BRMS1

MDA-231 and

MDA-435

Reduced localization of β1 integrin to adhesion-associated cellular protrusions[44]
KISS1

MDA-MB-31Br and

CN34Brm2Ctgl

Overexpression of epithelial marker E-cadherin[45]
NM23MDA-MB-435Suppresses MT1-MMP activity[46]
GSNMCF and MDA-MB-231TGF-β1 signaling leads to epigenetic alterations in gelsolin expression[47]
CADM1MCF7EMT-induced E-cadherin and CADM1 modifications result in enhanced vulnerability to NK cell cytotoxicity[48]
KAI1MDA-MB-231Induces apoptosis by the production of intracellular ROS and downregulates EGFR signaling[49, 50]
NDRG1MCF7 and MDA-MB-435Upregulates E-cadherin and β-catenin by inhibiting SMAD/PSMAD32 and downregulation of TWIST, SNAIL, and SLUG[51, 52]
RhoGDI2MDA-MB-231D4-GDI knockdown inhibits cell growth and invasion through activating Rac-dependent p38 and JNK signaling[53]
MAPK14MDA-MB-231, Hs587T, and SUM159Cell migration, induction of EMT, p38 activation, and genomic regulation of NR4A1 expression by cis-acting-catenin/TCF/LEF complexes are all TGF-induced responses[54]
GAS1MDADecreases endothelial migration leading to decreased vascularization[55]
