The miR200 family regulates EMT through E-cadherin modulation and has been proposed to contribute to metastasis thusly. This report identifies a promoting role of miR-200 in metastatic colonization that involves a novel target, the tumor secretome. The correlation between miR-200 and metastasis in people with cancer supports the relevance of this biphasic, multifaceted role of miR-200.
