TLDR
It is shown that a large fraction of human cancers overexpress Twist1 and/or Twist2, suggesting an unanticipated direct link between early escape from failsafe programs and the acquisition of invasive features by cancer cells.About:

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease
Jean Paul Thiery,Jean Paul Thiery,Hervé Acloque,Ruby Yun-Ju Huang,Ruby Yun-Ju Huang,M. Angela Nieto +5 more
TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.

The basics of epithelial-mesenchymal transition
Raghu Kalluri,Robert A. Weinberg +1 more
TL;DR: Processes similar to the EMTs associated with embryo implantation, embryogenesis, and organ development are appropriated and subverted by chronically inflamed tissues and neoplasias and the identification of the signaling pathways that lead to activation of EMT programs during these disease processes is providing new insights into the plasticity of cellular phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transitions between epithelial and mesenchymal states: acquisition of malignant and stem cell traits
TL;DR: Owing to the importance of these tumour-associated phenotypes in metastasis and cancer-related mortality, targeting the products of such cellular plasticity is an attractive but challenging approach that is likely to lead to improved clinical management of cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
TGF-beta-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
TL;DR: The induction of EMT in response to TGF-β is discussed, and the underlying signaling and transcription mechanisms are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory networks defining EMT during cancer initiation and progression
Bram De Craene,Geert Berx +1 more
TL;DR: The EMT-associated reprogramming of cells not only suggests that fundamental changes may occur to several regulatory networks but also that an intimate interplay exists between them.

WAF1, a potential mediator of p53 tumor suppression
Wafik S. El-Deiry,Takashi Tokino,Victor E. Velculescu,Daniel B. Levy,Ramon Parsons,Jeffrey M. Trent,D Lin,W. Edward Mercer,Kenneth W. Kinzler,Bert Vogelstein +9 more
TL;DR: A gene is identified, named WAF1, whose induction was associated with wild-type but not mutant p53 gene expression in a human brain tumor cell line and that could be an important mediator of p53-dependent tumor growth suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oncogenic ras Provokes Premature Cell Senescence Associated with Accumulation of p53 and p16INK4a
TL;DR: It is shown that expression of oncogenic ras in primary human or rodent cells results in a permanent G1 arrest, and that the onset of cellular senescence does not simply reflect the accumulation of cell divisions, but can be prematurely activated in response to an onCogenic stimulus.

Twist, a Master Regulator of Morphogenesis, Plays an Essential Role in Tumor Metastasis
Jing Yang,Sendurai A. Mani,Joana Liu Donaher,Sridhar Ramaswamy,Sridhar Ramaswamy,Raphael Itzykson,Christophe Côme,Pierre Savagner,Inna Gitelman,Andrea L. Richardson,Robert A. Weinberg +10 more
TL;DR: A mechanistic link between Twist, EMT, and tumor metastasis is established, suggesting that Twist contributes to metastasis by promoting an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

DNA damage response as a candidate anti-cancer barrier in early human tumorigenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that in clinical specimens from different stages of human tumours of the urinary bladder, breast, lung and colon, the early precursor lesions commonly express markers of an activated DNA damage response.

BRAFE600-associated senescence-like cell cycle arrest of human naevi

TL;DR: It is shown that sustained BRAFV600E expression in human melanocytes induces cell cycle arrest, which is accompanied by the induction of both p16INK4a and senescence-associated acidic β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity, a commonly usedsenescence marker.
