Computational Modelling of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Cell behaviour during epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) was simulated using the cellular Potts formalism in Compucell3D. A recent in vitro study revealed that the mechanism of endocardial scattering can be induced independently of invasion into the extracellular matrix (ECM). This suggests that loss of endocardial cohesion alone is not sufficient for full EMT. The 3D simulations, which...
متن کاملEpithelial to mesenchymal transition concept in Cancer: Review article
Owing to this fact that most of the mortalities in cancers are as a result of metastasis, study on the involved pathways in metastasis including Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) would be so critical and important. Up to date, several extensive studies have been carried out to determine the correlation between EMT and cancer and their results have shown that the EMT plays pivotal role ...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Trigger Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in the HT-29 Colorectal Cancer Cell Line
Background and Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote metastasis in colorectal cancer; however, the mechanism underlying this process is not fully understood. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key step in tumor acquisition of metastatic phenotype. We aimed to investigate the effect of MSCs on the expression of EMT markers, as well as cancer stem cell markers in HT-29 col...
متن کاملComputational model to probe cellular mechanics during epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
During the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), polarized cells in the epithelium can undergo a transformation characterized by the loss of cell-cell junctions and increased migratory activity into nonpolarized invasive cells. These cells adopt a mesenchymal shape and migrate into the basal lamina. Such transitions have been observed in developmental processes and have been linked to can...
متن کاملSpontaneous Mesenchymal to Epithelial Like Tissue Transition (MET) in a Long Term Human Skin Culture
In an attempt to isolate multipotent stem cells from foreskin in a long-term culture, we encountered an interesting phenomenon which was the conversion of the fibroblast dominant condition to epithelial-like tissue formation. However, the basic mechanism(s) which may be involved in this conversion is not clear. This study was designed to evaluate the cells protein secretion activity and examine...
