| HGNC Family | Basic helix-loop-helix proteins (BHLH) |
| Name | twist family bHLH transcription factor 1 |
| Description | This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays an important role in embryonic development. The encoded protein forms both homodimers and heterodimers that bind to DNA E box sequences and regulate the transcription of genes involved in cranial suture closure during skull development. This protein may also regulate neural tube closure, limb development and brown fat metabolism. This gene is hypermethylated and overexpressed in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as metastatic recurrence. Mutations in this gene cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by craniosynostosis, ptosis and hypertelorism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020] |
| Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nTWIST1 functions as a master transcriptional regulator of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process central to cancer metastasis. Numerous studies demonstrate that TWIST1 represses epithelial markers such as E‐cadherin while inducing mesenchymal markers, thereby enhancing cell motility, invasion, and invadopodia formation. Its activity is modulated by diverse upstream signals—including hypoxia, STAT3 activation, mechanical cues from a stiff extracellular matrix, and proinflammatory cytokines—that stimulate its nuclear localization and stabilization through phosphorylation and epigenetic mechanisms. Moreover, TWIST1 cooperates with other EMT inducers (for example, Snail2, BMI1, and PDGFRα) and downstream mediators like AKT2, vimentin via circular RNA regulation, and even Bcl‐2 to promote motile, invasive phenotypes."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "23"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its role in EMT, TWIST1 contributes decisively to oncogenesis by enabling tumor cell survival and resistance to therapy.

In cancers such as prostate and EGFR-mutant non–small-cell lung cancer, elevated TWIST1 correlates with increased resistance to cytotoxic drugs and targeted therapeutics. In this context, TWIST1 suppresses proapoptotic factors (for example, BIM) and collaborates with mediators such as YB-1, while also being modulated by inflammatory regulators like type I interferons."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "24", "end_ref": "30"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nTWIST1 also plays key roles during embryonic development and in the regulation of stem cell fates.
