Guidelines and definitions for research on epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Jing Yang, +47 more
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.

Tumor Antigen Escape from CAR T-cell Therapy.

TL;DR: Antigen escape and downregulation have emerged as major issues impacting the durability of CAR T-cell therapy and ways to overcome these obstacles in order to improve clinical outcomes are explored.

Circular RNA circNRIP1 acts as a microRNA-149-5p sponge to promote gastric cancer progression via the AKT1/mTOR pathway

TL;DR: It is proved that circNRIP1 sponges miR-149-5p to affect the expression level of AKT1 and eventually acts as a tumour promotor in GC and demonstrated that quaking can promote circ NRIP1 transcription.

Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions in tumour progression

TL;DR: Epithelial–mesenchymal transition provides a new basis for understanding the progression of carcinoma towards dedifferentiated and more malignant states.

The miR-200 family and miR-205 regulate epithelial to mesenchymal transition by targeting ZEB1 and SIP1.

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.

The transcription factor Snail controls epithelial–mesenchymal transitions by repressing E-cadherin expression

TL;DR: It is shown that mouse Snail is a strong repressor of transcription of the E-cadherin gene, opening up new avenues for the design of specific anti-invasive drugs.
