Extracellular matrix gene expression signatures as cell type and cell state identifiers

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2021
Transcriptomic signatures based on cellular mRNA expression profiles can be used to categorize cell types and states. Yet whether different functional groups of genes perform better or worse in this process remains largely unexplored.

Characterizing the extracellular matrix transcriptome of cervical, endometrial, and uterine cancers

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2022
Increasingly, the matrisome, a set of proteins that form the core of the extracellular matrix (ECM) or are closely associated with it, has been demonstrated to play a key role in tumor progression.

Comparative proteomic assessment of matrisome enrichment methodologies [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2016
The matrisome is a complex and heterogeneous collection of extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM-associated proteins that play important roles in tissue development and homeostasis. While several strategies for matrisome enrichment have been developed, it is currently unknown how the performance of these different methodologies compares in the proteomic ...

Challenges and Opportunities Modeling the Dynamic Tumor Matrisome

open access: yesBME Frontiers, 2023
We need novel strategies to target the complexity of cancer and, particularly, of metastatic disease. As an example of this complexity, certain tissues are particularly hospitable environments for metastases, whereas others do not contain fertile microenvironments to support cancer cell growth. Continuing evidence that the extracellular matrix (ECM) of

Tissue, age, sex, and disease patterns of matrisome expression in GTEx transcriptome data

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The extracellular matrix (ECM) has historically been explored through proteomic methods. Whether or not global transcriptomics can yield meaningful information on the human matrisome is unknown. Gene expression data from 17,382 samples across 52 tissues,

Fibroblast subtypes define a metastatic matrisome in breast cancer [PDF]

open access: goldJCI Insight, 2020
Small primary breast cancers can show surprisingly high potential for metastasis. Clinical decision-making for tumor aggressiveness, including molecular profiling, relies primarily on analysis of the cancer cells. Here we show that this analysis is insufficient - that the stromal microenvironment of the primary tumor plays a key role in tumor cell ...

Induction of fibroblast senescence generates a non-fibrogenic myofibroblast phenotype that differentially impacts on cancer prognosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) remain a poorly characterized, heterogeneous cell population. Here we characterized two previously described tumor-promoting CAF sub-types, smooth muscle actin (SMA)-positive myofibroblasts and senescent fibroblasts ...

Proteomic analysis of the bovine and human ciliary zonule [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
PURPOSE: The zonule of Zinn (ciliary zonule) is a system of fibers that centers the crystalline lens on the optical axis of the eye. Mutations in zonule components underlie syndromic conditions associated with a broad range of ocular pathologies ...

BMP2/BMPR1A is linked to tumour progression in dedifferentiated liposarcomas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 (BMP2) is a multipurpose cytokine, important in the development of bone and cartilage, and with a role in tumour initiation and progression.
