Abstract: In the process of epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT), cellcell adherence is disrupted, apicobasal polarity is lost, the ability of antiapoptosis, migration and invasion is acquired. Yboxbinding protein 1 (YB1) is a member of the coldshock protein superfamily, containing a structurally and functionally conserved cold shock domain. Studies indicate that YB1 can promote the occurrence and development of tumors by regulating EMT. In the process of EMT mediated by YB1, various transcription factors and signal pathways play important roles.

Key words: Yboxbinding protein 1, Cell transformation, neoplastic, Transcription factors, Signal transduction
