Transcriptional Networks in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition

PLoS ONE, 2011
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) changes polarized epithelial cells into migratory phenotypes associated with loss of cell-cell adhesion molecules and cytoskeletal rearrangements. This form of plasticity is seen in mesodermal development, fibroblast formation, and cancer metastasis.Here we identify prominent transcriptional networks active ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition as strategic microenvironment mimicry for cancer cell survival and immune escape?

Genes and Diseases, 2017
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the phenotypic transition of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells characterized by loss of epithelial markers, loss of intercellular adherence and acquirement of mesenchymal cell markers and increased ...

TGF-beta 1 induces human alveolar epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition (EMT) [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Fibroblastic foci are characteristic features in lung parenchyma of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). They comprise aggregates of mesenchymal cells which underlie sites of unresolved epithelial injury and are associated with ...

[Epithelial-mesenchymal transition and tumor metastasis].

Zhongguo fei ai za zhi = Chinese journal of lung cancer, 2011
Metastasis is the transfer of malignant tumors from one organ to a distant organ. It is the most common cause of death in cancer patients. Different molecular mechanisms enable tumor cells to infiltrate the surrounding tissue, invade blood vessels and leave the blood stream at a different site.

Overexpression of microRNA-194 suppresses the epithelial–mesenchymal transition in targeting stem cell transcription factor Sox3 in endometrial carcinoma stem cells

Tumor Biology, 2017
The epithelial–mesenchymal transition is the key process driving cancer metastasis. MicroRNA-194 inhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition in several cancers and its downregulation indicates a poor prognosis in human endometrial carcinoma.

Helicobacter pylori initiates a mesenchymal transition through ZEB1 in gastric epithelial cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Chronic Helicobacter pylori infection provokes an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, at high risk for ulcer and cancer development. The most virulent strains harbor the cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) encoding a type 4 secretion system, which allows ...

Endothelin-1 Drives Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition In Hypertensive Nephroangiosclerosis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Tubulointerstitial fibrosis, the final outcome of most kidney diseases, involves activation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) activates EMT in cancer cells, but it is not known whether it drives EMT in the kidney.

Capsaicin triggers autophagic cell survival which drives epithelial mesenchymal transition and chemoresistance in bladder cancer cells in an Hedgehog-dependent manner [PDF]

, 2016
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common urologic tumor characterized by high risk of recurrence and mortality. Capsaicin (CPS), used as an intravesical drug for overactive bladder, was demonstrated to induce cell death in different cancer cells including BC ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease [PDF]

, 2009
The events that convert adherent epithelial cells into individual migratory cells that can invade the extracellular matrix are known collectively as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition and Cell Invasion

Toxicological Research, 2010
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex process in which epithelial cells acquire the characteristics of invasive mesenchymal cells. EMT has been implicated in cancer progression and metastasis as well as the formation of many tissues and organs during development.
