Downregulation of 26S proteasome catalytic activity promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition. [PDF]

, 2016
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) endows carcinoma cells with phenotypic plasticity that can facilitate the formation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and contribute to the metastatic cascade.

Tissue‐Stimulator Platform for Electrically Stimulating Pancreatic β‐Cells for Long‐Term Functional Regulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a tissue‐stimulator platform for seamless electrode integration with pancreatic tissue, applying uniform electrical stimulation through optimized design with biohybrid 3D printing. Advantageous effects of electrical stimulation on β‐cell function were observed, including enhanced calcium signaling, islet morphology, and maturation.

ZEB-1 and E-cadherin expression may predict recurrence-free survival in patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) plays an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. We investigated the expression of two EMT-related molecules, ZEB-1 and E-cadherin, in invasive ductal breast carcinoma and evaluated their ...

Calcium-sensing receptor activation increases cell-cell adhesion and ß-cell function [PDF]

, 2012
Background/Aims: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in pancreatic β-cells where it is thought to facilitate cell-to-cell communication and augment insulin secretion.

Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

Meta-analysis of Association between E-cadherin Promoter Methylation 
and Lung Cancer Risk

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2013
Background and objective As a member of the cadherin superfamily, E-cadherin plays a critical role in the maintenance of cell polarity and integrity. And E-cadherin was reported to be down-regulated and closely related to tumor initiation, invasion and ...

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

E-Cadherin Downregulation is Mediated by Promoter Methylation in Canine Prostate Cancer

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein responsible for cell-to-cell adhesion, and its loss has been associated with metastasis development. Although E-cadherin downregulation was previously reported in canine prostate cancer (PC), the mechanism ...

Expression of E-cadherin in primary breast cancer and its correlation with prognostic factors [PDF]

, 2009
Background and aim: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and after lung cancer it is the second cause of death in women. Different biological markers are being used for determination of prognosis and patients’ responses to the therapy ...
