متن کاملRevisiting epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in cancer metastasis: the connection between epithelial plasticity and stemness
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important process in embryonic development, fibrosis, and cancer metastasis. During cancer progression, the activation of EMT permits cancer cells to acquire migratory, invasive, and stem-like properties. A growing body of evidence supports the critical link between EMT and cancer stemness. However, contradictory results have indicated that the inhi...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotency of Human Prostatic Epithelial Cells
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a valuable resource for discovery of epigenetic changes critical to cell type-specific differentiation. Although iPS cells have been generated from other terminally differentiated cells, the reprogramming of normal adult human basal prostatic epithelial (E-PZ) cells to a pluripotent state has not been reported. Here, we attempted to reprogram E-PZ cells ...
متن کاملEpithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stemness: the Twist1-Bmi1 connection.
EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition), a major mechanism of cancer metastasis, is a process that generates cells with stem-like properties. These stem-like cells in tumours are described as cancer stem cells. The link between EMT and cancer stemness is well documented without detailed mechanistic proof. Bmi1 belongs to the PRC1 (polycomb repressive complex 1) maintaining self-renewal and stem...
متن کاملMitochondrial function controls intestinal epithelial stemness and proliferation
Control of intestinal epithelial stemness is crucial for tissue homeostasis. Disturbances in epithelial function are implicated in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Here we report that mitochondrial function plays a critical role in maintaining intestinal stemness and homeostasis. Using intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific mouse models, we show that loss o...
