Epithelial 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 کاملThe Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a Particular Case
Constitutive heterochromatin, an essential structure that has been conserved throughout evolution, is required to maintain genome stability. Although heterochromatin is enriched for repressive traits, it can be actively transcribed to generate thousands of noncoding RNAs that are required for correct chromatin assembly. Despite the importance of this structure, how and why heterochromatin trans...
متن کاملHypoxia Activated EGFR Signaling Induces Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)
Metastasis is a multi-step process which requires the conversion of polarized epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells, Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). EMT is essential during embryonic morphogenesis and has been implicated in the progression of primary tumors towards metastasis. Hypoxia is known to induce EMT; however the molecular mechanism is still poorly understood. Using the A431 epi...
متن کاملThe epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon.
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) describes a rapid and often reversible modulation of phenotype by epithelial cells. EMT was originally defined in the context of developmental stages, including heart morphogenesis, mesoderm and neural crest formation. Epithelial cells loosen cell-cell adhesion structures throughout EMT. They modulate their polarity, cytoskeleton organization and typi...
متن کاملEpithelial-to-mesenchymal transition confers pericyte properties on cancer cells.
Carcinoma cells can acquire increased motility and invasiveness through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the significance of EMT in cancer metastasis has been controversial, and the exact fates and functions of EMT cancer cells in vivo remain inadequately understood. Here, we tracked epithelial cancer cells that underwent inducible or spontaneous EMT in various tumor transpl...
