Noxa, a BH3-Only Member of the Bcl-2 Family and Candidate Mediator of p53-Induced Apoptosis

TL;DR: A previously unidentified pro-apoptotic gene, Noxa, which encodes a Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only member of the BCl-2 family of proteins may represent a mediator of p53-dependent apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

EMT, CSCs, and drug resistance: the mechanistic link and clinical implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the link between the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the cancer stem cell (CSC) phenotype and discuss how this knowledge can contribute to improvements in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slug and Sox9 Cooperatively Determine the Mammary Stem Cell State

TL;DR: It is shown that coexpression of Slug and Sox9 promotes the tumorigenic and metastasis-seeding abilities of human breast cancer cells and is associated with poor patient survival, providing direct evidence that human breast cancers stem cells are controlled by key regulators similar to those operating in normal murine MaSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integration of interferon-alpha/beta signalling to p53 responses in tumour suppression and antiviral defence.

TL;DR: It is shown that transcription of the p53 gene is induced by IFN-α/β, accompanied by an increase in p53 protein level, and that p53 is critical for antiviral defence of the host.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct emt programs control normal mammary stem cells and tumour-initiating cells

TL;DR: It is shown that normal gland-reconstituting mammary stem cells residing in the basal layer of the mammary epithelium and breast TICs originating in the luminal layer exploit the paralogous EMT-TFs Slug and Snail, respectively, which induce distinct EMT programs.
