Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease
Jean Paul Thiery,Jean Paul Thiery,Hervé Acloque,Ruby Yun-Ju Huang,Ruby Yun-Ju Huang,M. Angela Nieto +5 more
TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.

Tenascin-X: beyond the architectural function
TL;DR: Recent findings indicate that TN-X is also an extracellular regulator of signaling pathways, and has been shown to regulate the bioavailability of the Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β and to modulate epithelial cell plasticity.

María Ángeles Castilla,Juan Díaz-Martín,David Sarrió,Laura Romero-Pérez,María Ángeles López-García,Begoña Vieites,Michele Biscuola,Susana Ramiro-Fuentes,Clare M. Isacke,José Palacios +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that miR-200f is strongly decreased in MBCs compared with other cancer types, and could be used as hypothetical biomarkers to assess the occurrence of EMT in breast cancer.
Therapeutic targets for bone metastases in breast cancer.
TL;DR: The clinical exploitation of promising molecular bone-targeted therapies that have arisen from recent advances in understanding of the pathogenesis of breast cancer bone metastases will provide oncologists with novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of skeletal lesions in breast cancer.

TL;DR: It is reported that the induction of an EMT in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMLEs) results in the acquisition of mesenchymal traits and in the expression of stem-cell markers, and it is shown that those cells have an increased ability to form mammospheres, a property associated with mammARY epithelial stem cells.

TL;DR: It is found that all five members of the microRNA-200 family were markedly downregulated in cells that had undergone EMT in response to transforming growth factor (TGF)-β or to ectopic expression of the protein tyrosine phosphatase Pez, suggesting that downregulation of themicroRNAs may be an important step in tumour progression.
