A critical role of KLK6 in regulating the transition between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes was already postulated by Pampalakis et al. [42] They demonstrated that KLK6 acts as a suppressor of tumor progression by promoting MET in breast cancer cell lines, suggesting common mechanisms of KLK6 function in breast cancer and HNSCC cells. This evidence concerns the gene KLK6 and breast carcinoma.
