EMT and MET: necessary or permissive for metastasis?
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) have been suggested to play crucial roles in metastatic dissemination of carcinomas. These phenotypic transitions between states are not binary. Instead, carcinoma cells often exhibit a spectrum of epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype(s). While epithelial/mesenchymal plasticity has been observed pr...
متن کاملEMT and tumor metastasis
EMT and MET comprise the processes by which cells transit between epithelial and mesenchymal states, and they play integral roles in both normal development and cancer metastasis. This article reviews these processes and the molecular pathways that contribute to them. First, we compare embryogenesis and development with cancer metastasis. We then discuss the signaling pathways and the different...
متن کاملEMT and MET as paradigms for cell fate switching.
Cell fate determination is a major unsolved problem in cell and developmental biology. The discovery of reprogramming by pluripotent factors offers a rational system to investigate the molecular mechanisms associated with cell fate decisions. The idea that reprogramming of fibroblasts starts with a mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) suggests that the process is perhaps a reversal of epithe...
متن کاملThe role of the oncofetal H19 lncRNA in tumor metastasis: orchestrating the EMT-MET decision
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes are emerging as key players in the metastatic cascade. Current evidence indicate that H19 lncRNA and the microRNA(miRNA) miR-675, which is processed from it, play crucial roles in metastasis, through the regulation of critical events specifically the epithelial to mesenchymal (EMT) and the mesenchymal to epithelial transitions (MET). This review summarizes rec...
متن کاملTumor Inflammatory Microenvironment in EMT and Metastasis
Approximately 90% of cancer-related death is caused by metastasis. The increased motility and invasiveness of metastatic tumor cells is reminiscent of events that occur at the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is a characteristic that occurs during embryonic development, tissue remodeling, wound healing and metastasis. Interestingly, EMT is a dynamic process and mainly occurs at th...
