Due to the influence of SOX4 on the Wnt/β-catenin, Notch1, and p53 pathways, as well as the components of the miRNA processing machinery (DICER, Argonaute 1, RNA helicase A), upregulation of the expression of SOX4 can cause the development of different types of cancer and stimulate EMT. Here, SOX4 is linked to cancer.
