Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of breast cancer stem cells through epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

TL;DR: Using a mammary tumor progression model, it is shown that cells possessing both stem and tumorigenic characteristics of “cancer stem cells” can be derived from human mammary epithelial cells following the activation of the Ras-MAPK pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

EMT inducers catalyze malignant transformation of mammary epithelial cells and drive tumorigenesis towards claudin-low tumors in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that down-regulating crucial tumor suppressor functions, EMT inducers make cells particularly prone to malignant conversion, and that cooperation between an EMT inducer and an active form of RAS is sufficient to trigger transformation of mammary epithelial cells into malignant cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17A is produced by breast cancer TILs and promotes chemoresistance and proliferation through ERK1/2

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a subset of breast tumors is infiltrated with IL-17A-producing cells and recombinant IL- 17A stimulates migration and invasion of breast cancer cells as previously reported and recruits the MAPK pathway by upregulating phosphorylated ERK1/2 in human breast cancer cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early origin of cancer metastases: dissemination and evolution of premalignant cells.

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence supports the idea that metastatic cells disseminate early from the primordial tumor and evolve independently of it, and the interplay between metastatic mechanisms and failsafe mechanism pathways is discussed.
