TLDR
It is demonstrated that overexpression of miR‐216a/217 acted as a positive feedback regulator for the TGF‐β pathway and the canonical pathway involved in the activation of phosphoinositide 3‐kinase/protein kinase K (PI3K/Akt) signaling in HCC cells.

TGF-β-Mediated Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Cancer Metastasis

TL;DR: The role of TGF-β signaling in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, EMT and cancer cell metastasis is considered and recent insights into the multistep and dynamically controlled process of T GF-β-induced EMT are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-Smad Signaling Pathways of the TGF-β Family

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge of the mechanisms by which non-Smad signaling pathways are directly activated in response to ligand binding, how activation of these pathways impinges on Smads and non- Smad targets, and how final cellular responses are affected in Response to these noncanonical signaling modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: Some aspects of EMT are still elusive and further studies are required to better link the clinical management of HCC with biomarkers and targeted therapies related to EMT, as well as explaining the current limiting insights into EMT by snapshot analyses of H CC tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role and mechanisms of action of microRNAs in cancer drug resistance.

TL;DR: A holistic understanding of the functions of miRNAs in drug resistance will help to develop better strategies to regulate them efficiently and will finally pave the way toward better translation of miRNA into clinics, developing them into a promising approach in cancer therapy.

Signaling Cross Talk between TGF-β/Smad and Other Signaling Pathways.

TL;DR: This review discusses recent progress in the understanding of the cross talk between Smad proteins and signaling pathways of Wnt, Notch, Hippo, Hedgehog, mitogen-activated protein (MAP), kinase, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathways.

The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Generates Cells with Properties of Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is reported that the induction of an EMT in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMLEs) results in the acquisition of mesenchymal traits and in the expression of stem-cell markers, and it is shown that those cells have an increased ability to form mammospheres, a property associated with mammARY epithelial stem cells.
