Cancer early dissemination: cancerous epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation and transforming growth factor β signalling.
Contrary to the long believed hypothesis, it is now evident that breast cancer cells can disseminate from the early phases of the oncogenesis; and that such early disseminated cells sometimes survive at the sites of dissemination and may outgrow after a long latency of years and decades. For cancer cells to leave their origin, they must at least transiently loosen their adhesion with adjacent e...
متن کاملEffect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta1 mediates epithelial to mesenchymal transdifferentiation through a RhoA-dependent mechanism.
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta) can be tumor suppressive, but it can also enhance tumor progression by stimulating the complex process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transdifferentiaion (EMT). The signaling pathway(s) that regulate EMT in response to TGF-beta are not well understood. We demonstrate the acquisition of a fibroblastoid morphology, increased N-cadherin expression, loss of...
متن کاملEDIL3 depletion suppress epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lens epithelial cells via transforming growth factor β pathway.
AIM To study the effect of discoidin I-like domaincontaining protein 3 (EDIL3) depletion on the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lens epithelial cells (LECs). METHODS RNA interference was used to inhibit the expression of EDIL3 in human LECs in vitro. The morphology of cells was observed using an inverted microscope. Cell proliferation was assessed using EdU ...
متن کاملReversal of transforming growth factor-β induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and the ZEB proteins
BACKGROUND The dynamic process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a causal event in kidney fibrosis. This cellular phenotypic transition involves activation of transcriptional responses and remodeling of cellular structures to change cellular function. The molecular mechanisms that directly contribute to the re-establishment of the epithelial phenotype are poorly understood. RES...
