The activation of EMT is dynamically controlled by various signals from the tumour microenvironment (TME), among which interleukin‐6 (IL6) is one of the most abundant pro‐inflammatory cytokines and promotes EMT by activating snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAIL) and twist family bHLH transcription factor 1 (TWIST1).9, 10, 11. This evidence concerns the gene TWIST1 and neoplasm.
