Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process by which epithelial cells lose cell-cell contact and gain cancer malignancy such as invasion, stemness, chemoresistance and metastasis. Reverse precess, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) is also important for colonization. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from cancer cells are also important for cancer malignancy. To analyze RNAs from cells and EVs during EMT and MET, RNA sequencing was performed using E-cadherin-RFP/Py2T reporter system.

Project description:This model is an expansion of the Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model (MODEL2208050001); it includes a TGFβ signaling module and autocrine signaling in mesenchymal cells. The expanded 150-node (630 link) modular model undergoes EMT triggered by biomechanical and growth signaling crosstalk, or by TGFβ. As its predecessor, this model also reproduces the ability of the core EMT transcriptional network to maintain distinct epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal states, as well as EMT driven by mitogens such as EGF on stiff ECM. We also reproduce the observed lack of stepwise MET, in that our model's dynamics does not pass through the hybrid E/M state during MET. We show that in the absence of strong autocrine signals such as TGFβ (not included in this version), cells cannot maintain their mesenchymal state in the absence of mitogens, on softer matrices, or at high cell density. In contrast, potent autocrine signaling can stabilize the mesenchymal state in all but very dense monolayers on soft ECM. This expanded model also reproduces the inhibitory effects of TGFβ on proliferation and anoikis resistance in mesenchymal cells, as well as its ability to trigger apoptosis on soft ECM vs. EMT on stiff matrices. The model offers several experimentally testable predictions related to the effect of neighbors on partial vs. full EMT, the tug of war between mitosis and the maintenance of migratory hybrid E/M states, as well as cell cycle defects in dynamic, heterogeneous populations of epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal cells.

Project description:After 7 days of culture, a sub-population of breast cancer MDAMB231 cells spontaneously detaches the monolayer and starts to grow in suspension, these cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), display anoikis resistance and acquire a metastatic phenotype. These cells, in the presence of adherently growing MDAMB231, continue to grow in suspension whereas, seeded in cell-free wells, are able to adhere again and to form E-cadherin positive and vimentin negative new colonies, suggesting the occurrence of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET). The expression profiles of these three cell clones (basal, MET and EMT) were investigated by microarray analysis.

Project description:The zinc finger e-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) transcription factor is a master regulator of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), and of the reverse mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET) processes. ZEB1 plays an integral role in mediating cell state transitions during cell lineage specification, wound healing and disease. EMT/MET are characterized by distinct changes in molecular and cellular phenotype that are generally context-independent. Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD), associated with ZEB1 insufficiency, provides a new biological context in which to understand and evaluate the classic EMT/MET paradigm. PPCD is characterized by a cadherin-switch and transition to an epithelial-like transcriptomic and cellular phenotype, which we study in a cell-based model of PPCD generated using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated ZEB1 knockout in corneal endothelial cells (CEnCs). Transcriptomic and functional studies support the hypothesis that CEnC undergo an MET-like transition in PPCD, termed endothelial to epithelial transition (EnET), and lead to the conclusion that EnET may be considered a corollary to the classic EMT/MET paradigm.

Project description:Tumor hypoxia is relevant for tumor growth, metabolism and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We report that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment induced mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) in a dimetyl-α-benzantracene induced mammary rat adenocarcinoma model, and the MET was associated with extensive coordinated gene expression changes and less aggressive tumors. One group of tumor bearing rats was exposed to HBO (2 bar, pO2 = 2 bar, 4 exposures à 90 minutes), whereas the control group was housed under normal atmosphere (1 bar, pO2 = 0.2 bar). Treatment effects were determined by assessment of tumor growth, tumor vascularisation, tumor cell proliferation, cell death, collagen fibrils and gene expression profile. Tumor growth was significantly reduced (~16%) after HBO treatment compared to day 1 levels, whereas control tumors increased almost 100 % in volume. Significant decreases in tumor cell proliferation, tumor blood vessels and collagen fibrils, together with an increase in cell death, are consistent with tumor growth reduction and tumor stroma influence after hyperoxic treatment. Gene expression profiling showed that HBO induced MET with coordinated expression of gene modules involved in cell junctions and attachments together with a shift towards non-tumorigenic metabolism. This leads to more differentiated and less aggressive tumors, and indicates that oxygen per se might be an important factor in the â??switchesâ?? of EMT and MET in vivo. HBO treatment also attenuated tumor growth and changed tumor stroma, by targeting the vascular system, having anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects.

Project description:This file contains a 136-node modular Boolean network model of EMT triggered by biomechanical and growth signaling crosstalk, linked to a published network of epithelial contact inhibition, proliferation, and apoptosis (MODEL2006170001). This model reproduces the ability of the core EMT transcriptional network to maintain distinct epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal states, as well as EMT driven by mitogens such as EGF on stiff ECM. We also reproduce the observed lack of stepwise MET, in that our model's dynamics does not pass through the hybrid E/M state during MET. We show that in the absence of strong autocrine signals such as TGFβ (not included in this version), cells cannot maintain their mesenchymal state in the absence of mitogens, on softer matrices, or at high cell density.

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to elucidate osteoblastic transcriptional programs during zebrafish caudal fin regeneration. We show that osteoprogenitors are enriched with components associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse, mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET). Trajectory analyses indicate osteoblastic cells solely expressed EMT components, or transiently expressed components for MET before EMT. We provide evidence that the EMT markers cdh11 and twist2 are co-expressed in dedifferentiating cells at the amputation stump, and in differentiating osteoblastic cells in the regenerate, the latter of which are enriched in EMT signatures. We also show that esrp1, a regulator of alternative splicing in epithelial cells that is associated with MET, is expressed in a subset of osteoprogenitors during outgrowth. This study provides a single cell resource for the study of osteoblastic cells during zebrafish fin regeneration, and supports the contribution of MET- and EMT-associated components to this process.

Project description:The pluripotent epiblast gives rise to all tissues and organs in an adult body. Its differentiation starts at gastrulation when the epiblast generates mesoderm and endoderm germ layers through a process called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Although gastrulation EMT coincides with loss of epiblast pluripotency, pluripotent cells in development and in culture can adopt either mesenchymal or epithelial morphology. The relationship between epiblast pluripotency and epiblast morphology is not well understood. In this work, using chicken epiblast and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) models, we show that pluripotent cells undergo an obligatory mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) prior to EMT-associated pluripotency loss. Epiblast MET and the subsequent EMT are two distinct processes. The former, a partial MET, is associated with reversible pluripotency exit; whereas the latter, a full EMT, is associated with complete and irreversible pluripotency loss. We provide evidence that integrin-mediated cell-matrix interaction, but not E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell interaction, is a key player in pluripotency exit regulation. We propose that epiblast partial MET is an evolutionarily conserved process among all amniotic vertebrates and its developmental function is to mediate planar symmetry-breaking within an epithelialized epiblast, taking place after epiblast MET but before gastrulation EMT.
