We have identified the transcription factor forkhead box protein F2 (Foxf2) to be upregulated in its expression during the EMT process and studied its functional contribution to EMT by siRNA-mediated knockdown in NMuMG cells treated for 4 days with TGFbeta followed by mRNA-sequencing. Our analysis revealed a dual role of Foxf2 during TGFbeta-induced EMT in promoting apoptosis while inducing cell junction breakdown and migration.
