Hypoxic microenvironment always exists in solid tumors, and it closely relates to the development and metastasis of solid tumor. As a main transcription factor responding to hypoxic environment, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) can promote tumor cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), etc. EMT is a biological process that epithelial phenotype was transformed into mesenchymal phenotype, which is mainly associated with its signaling pathways, transcription factors, inflammatory factors and miRNAs, and plays a vital role in tumor invasion and metastasis. This paper summarizes the effects of hypoxia signaling pathway, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, Notch signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway on the EMT of tumor cells.
