TLDR
A mechanistic link between Twist, EMT, and tumor metastasis is established, suggesting that Twist contributes to metastasis by promoting an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Nucleophosmin-anaplastic lymphoma kinase: the ultimate oncogene and therapeutic target.

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical studies indicate that inhibition of NPM-ALK induces long-lasting complete remissions in a large subset of heavily pretreated adult patients and the vast majority of children with high-stage ALK+ ALCL.

Atypical ubiquitin E3 ligase complex Skp1-Pam-Fbxo45 controls the core epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factors

TL;DR: It is found that EMT-TFs can be dynamically degraded by an atypical ubiquitin E3 ligase complex Skp1-Pam-Fbxo45 (SPFFbXo45) through the ubiquit in proteasome system (UPS) and suggested that Fbxi45 is a key node of the miR-27a*/Fb xo45/EMT-TFS signaling axis.

MUC4 potentiates invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells through stabilization of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1.

TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that MUC4 promotes invasion and metastasis by FGFR1 stabilization through the N-cadherin upregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibroblast growth factor 2 (Fgf2) inhibits differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by inducing Twist2 and Spry4, blocking extracellular regulated kinase activation, and altering Fgf receptor expression levels.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of mouse MSC differentiation by Fgf2 is strongly correlated with upregulation of Twist2 and Spry4 and suppression of Erk1/2 activation.

RGC-32 Mediates Transforming Growth Factor-β-induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Human Renal Proximal Tubular Cells

TL;DR: It is found that RGC-32 (response gene to complement 32) is critical for TGF-β-induced EMT of human renal proximal tubular cells (HPTCs), and Functionally, R GC-32 appears to mediate TGF

Gene expression profiling predicts clinical outcome of breast cancer

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

New functions for the matrix metalloproteinases in cancer progression

TL;DR: It is shown that the MMPs have functions other than promotion of invasion, have substrates other than components of the extracellular matrix, and that they function before invasion in the development of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.

The pathogenesis of cancer metastasis: the 'seed and soil' hypothesis revisited

TL;DR: It is now known that the potential of a tumour cell to metastasize depends on its interactions with the homeostatic factors that promote tumour-cell growth, survival, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.
