TLDR
The functional requirement of EMT and/or MET during the individual steps of tumor metastasis is reviewed and the potential of targeting this program when treating metastatic diseases is discussed.Abstract:
Tumor metastasis is a multistep process by which tumor cells disseminate from their primary site and form secondary tumors at a distant site. Metastasis occurs through a series of steps: local invasion, intravasation, transport, extravasation, and colonization. A developmental program termed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been shown to play a critical role in promoting metastasis in epithelium-derived carcinoma. Recent experimental and clinical studies have improved our knowledge of this dynamic program and implicated EMT and its reverse program, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), in the metastatic process. Here, we review the functional requirement of EMT and/or MET during the individual steps of tumor metastasis and discuss the potential of targeting this program when treating metastatic diseases.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that hundreds of circRNAs are regulated during human epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and that the production of over one-third of abundant circ RNAs is dynamically regulated by the alternative splicing factor, Quaking (QKI), which itself is regulated during EMT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signaling mechanisms of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition
TL;DR: This review discusses how intracellular pathways and extracellular signals that regulate gene expression to induce EMT crosstalk and respond to signals from the microenvironment to regulate the expression and function of EMT-inducing transcription factors in development, physiology, and disease.

TL;DR: This Consensus Statement is the outcome of a 2-year-long discussion among EMT researchers and aims to both clarify the nomenclature and provide definitions and guidelines for EMT research in future publications to reduce misunderstanding and misinterpretation of research data generated in various experimental models.

TL;DR: A molecular link between epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and CD8+ TIL immunosuppression and cancer progression is demonstrated and ZEB1 promotes metastasis through a heretofore unappreciated cell non-autonomous mechanism, and subgroups of patients in whom malignant progression is driven by EMT activators may respond to treatment with PD-L1 antagonists.

Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Is a Determinant of Sensitivity of Non–Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Cell Lines and Xenografts to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibition

TL;DR: It is shown that wild-type EGFR-containing human NSCLC lines show a range of sensitivities to EGFR inhibition dependent on the degree to which they have undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting that EMT may be a general biological switch rendering non-small cell lung tumors sensitive or insensitive to EG FR inhibition.

TL;DR: It is shown that EGF induces EGFR-expressing cancer cells to undergo a transition from the epithelial to the spindle-like mesenchymal morphology and induce cancer cell EMT via STAT3-mediated TWIST gene expression.
