Beta-Elemene Blocks Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Human Breast Cancer Cell Line MCF-7 through Smad3-Mediated Down-Regulation of Nuclear Transcription Factors

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the first step required for breast cancer to initiate metastasis. However, the potential of drugs to block and reverse the EMT process are not well explored. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of beta-elemene (ELE), an active compon...
