Journal ArticleDOI
The transcription factor ZEB1 (δEF1) promotes tumour cell dedifferentiation by repressing master regulators of epithelial polarity
Kirsten Aigner,Brigitta Dampier,L Descovich,Mario Mikula,Aneesa Sultan,Martin Schreiber,Wolfgang Mikulits,Thomas Brabletz,Dennis Strand,P Obrist,Wolfgang Sommergruber,Norbert Schweifer,Andreas Wernitznig,Hartmut Beug,Roland Foisner,Andreas Eger +15 more
TL;DR: The data show that ZEB1 represents a key player in pathologic EMTs associated with tumour progression, and downregulation in undifferentiated cancer cells by RNA interference was sufficient to upregulate expression of cell polarity genes on the RNA and protein level, to re-establish epithelial features and to impair cell motility in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Transcriptional Repressor ZEB1 Promotes Metastasis and Loss of Cell Polarity in Cancer
Simone Spaderna,Otto Schmalhofer,Mandy Wahlbuhl,Arno Dimmler,Katja Bauer,Aneesa Sultan,Falk Hlubek,Andreas Jung,Dennis Strand,Andreas Eger,Thomas Kirchner,Jürgen Behrens,Thomas Brabletz +12 more
TL;DR: It is described that the EMT-inducing transcriptional repressor ZEB1 promotes colorectal cancer cell metastasis and loss of cell polarity and shows that retention of Lgl2 expression is critical for the epithelial phenotype and that its loss might be involved in metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The transcription factor ZEB1 (δEF1) represses Plakophilin 3 during human cancer progression
Kirsten Aigner,Luise Descovich,Mario Mikula,Aneesa Sultan,Brigitta Dampier,Stefan Bonné,Frans van Roy,Wolfgang Mikulits,Martin Schreiber,Thomas Brabletz,Wolfgang Sommergruber,Norbert Schweifer,Andreas Wernitznig,Hartmut Beug,Roland Foisner,Andreas Eger +15 more
TL;DR: It is reported that PKP3 is transcriptionally repressed by the E‐cadherin repressor ZEB1 in metastatic cancer cells and contributes to Z EB1‐mediated disintegration of intercellular adhesion and epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of nutrients in bacterial biosurfactant production and effect of biosurfactant production on petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation
Aqib Hassan Ali Khan,Sundus Tanveer,Shagufta Alia,Mariam Anees,Aneesa Sultan,Mazhar Iqbal,Sohail Yousaf,Sohail Yousaf +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that biosurfactant production is influenced by the availability of nutrients, which can be enhanced with the use of biosurFactant producing bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular vesicles in ovarian cancer: applications to tumor biology, immunotherapy and biomarker discovery
Muhammad Nawaz,Farah Fatima,Irina Nazarenko,Karin M. Ekström,Iram Murtaza,Mariam Anees,Aneesa Sultan,Luciano Neder,Giovanni Camussi,Hadi Valadi,Jeremy A. Squire,Thomas Kislinger +11 more
TL;DR: A deeper understanding of ovarian cancer-derived EVs, the types of cargo molecules and their biological roles in cancer growth, metastases and drug resistance, could have significant impact on the discovery of novel biomarkers and innovative therapeutics.
