Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions and hepatocarcinogenesis.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are believed to play a role in invasion and metastasis of many types of tumors. In this issue of the JCI, Chen et al. show that a gene that has been associated with aggressive biology in hepatocellular carcinomas initiates a molecular cascade that results in EMT.
متن کاملRegulation of epithelial-mesenchymal and mesenchymal-epithelial transitions by microRNAs.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the reverse process, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), are essential during development and in the regulation of stem cell pluripotency, yet these processes are also activated in pathological contexts, such as in fibrosis and cancer progression. In EMT and MET, diverse signaling pathways cooperate in the initiation and progression of the EMT an...
متن کاملBiomarkers for epithelial-mesenchymal transitions.
Somatic cells that change from one mature phenotype to another exhibit the property of plasticity. It is increasingly clear that epithelial and endothelial cells enjoy some of this plasticity, which is easily demonstrated by studying the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Published reports from the literature typically rely on ad hoc criteria for determining EMT events; consequ...
متن کاملEpithelial to mesenchymal transitions and cell migration
Epithelial to mesenchymal transitions are prominent features of mammalian gastrulation and neural crest development, and are essential for the proper development of many organs and tissues. Moreover, most cancers derive from epithelial cells, and metastasis involves departure of these cells from their epithelium of origin and invasion of the surrounding tissue. It is known that epithelial to me...
متن کاملSTAT3 and epithelial–mesenchymal transitions in carcinomas
Cellular programs coupled to cycles of epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) play critical roles during embryogenesis, as well as during tissue development, remodeling, and repair. Research over the last decade has established the importance of an ever-expanding list of master EMT transcription factors, whose activity is regulated by STAT3 and function to stimulate the rapid transition of c...
