The role of hypoxia on the acquisition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stemness: a possible link to epigenetic regulation
A hypoxic microenvironment leads to cancer progression and increases the metastatic potential of cancer cells within tumors via epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stemness acquisition. The hypoxic response pathway can occur under oxygen tensions of < 40 mmHg through hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which are considered key mediators in the adaptation to hypoxia. Previous studie...
متن کاملAntithetical NFATc1-Sox2 and p53-miR200 signaling networks govern pancreatic cancer cell plasticity.
In adaptation to oncogenic signals, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process combining tumor cell dedifferentiation with acquisition of stemness features. However, the mechanisms linking oncogene-induced signaling pathways with EMT and stemness remain largely elusive. Here, we uncover the inflammation-induced transcription factor N...
متن کاملTumor Protein p63/microRNA Network in Epithelial Cancer Cells
Non-coding microRNAs are involved in multiple regulatory mechanisms underlying response of cancer cells to stress leading to apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and autophagy. Many molecular layers are implicated in such cellular response including epigenetic regulation of transcription, RNA processing, metabolism, signaling. The molecular interrelationship between tumor protein (TP)-p53 family member...
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 کاملPAF-Wnt signaling-induced cell plasticity is required for maintenance of breast cancer cell stemness
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) contribute to tumour heterogeneity, therapy resistance and metastasis. However, the regulatory mechanisms of cancer cell stemness remain elusive. Here we identify PCNA-associated factor (PAF) as a key molecule that controls cancer cell stemness. PAF is highly expressed in breast cancer cells but not in mammary epithelial cells (MECs). In MECs, ectopic expression of PAF ...
