BACH1 alters the expression of EMT-related genes to promote metastasis in pancreatic cancer [ChIP-Seq]
BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) has been implicated in RAS-driven tumor formation. We focused on the role of BACH1 in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), more than 90% of which have KRAS mutation. BACH1  directly or indirectly repressed the expression of genes for epithelial cell adhesion in AsPC-1 cells and SW1990. Knockdown and overexpression of BACH1 in PDAC cell lines indicated that BACH1 promoted cell migration and invasion in part by reducing E-cadherin expression.
