Epithelial fusion is mediated by a partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Epithelial fusion is a fundamental morphogenetic process critical for the closure and compartmentalisation of developing organs. While widely studied in systems such as neural tube and palatal closure, the cellular transitions that enable fusion remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate epithelial fusion during chick otic vesicle (OV) closure and identify a transient population of cells at the epithelial interface that mediate this process. These otic edge (OE) cells exhibit distinct morphology, reduced apicobasal polarity, and dynamic junctional remodelling, including altered distribution of ZO-1, CDH1, and RAC1. Notably, OE cells lack basal contact and display high sphericity, consistent with a partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype. Transcriptomic profiling of microdissected tissues reveals that OE cells constitute a transcriptionally distinct population, enriched for EMT regulators, ECM remodelling genes, and WNT pathway components. Among these, the transcription factors Grhl2 and Sp8 were specifically expressed at the OE and exhibited opposing roles in epithelial identity. CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockdown of either gene led to disrupted CDH1 localisation, loss of OE cell morphology, and failure in epithelial segregation. These results suggest that epithelial fusion requires a regulated, hybrid EMT state that balances junctional plasticity with tissue cohesion. Our findings demonstrate that fusion-competent epithelial cells are not merely passive participants but actively modulate their shape, polarity, adhesion, and genetic identity to enable morphogenesis.

TP63 regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in an experimental prostate cell model

Project description:p63 is a transcription factor central for epithelial homeostasis and development. In our model of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a human prostate cell culture model, p63 was one of the most down-regulated transcription factors during EMT. We therefore investigated the role of p63 in EMT by a gain and loss of function approach. Over-expression of the predominant epithelial isoform DNp63a in mesenchymal EPT1B8 cells led to gain of several epithelial characteristics without resulting in a complete mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET). This was corroborated by a reciprocal effect when p63 was knocked down in epithelial EP156T cells. Global gene expression analyses found that DNp63a induced gene modules involving cell adhesion genes in mesenchymal like cells. Genome-wide analysis of p63 binding sites by ChIP-seq analyses confirmed binding of p63 to regulatory areas of genes associated with cell adhesion in prostate epithelial cells.CDH1 and ZEB1 are two elemental factors in the control of EMT. Over-expression and knock-down of these factors, respectively, were not sufficient alone or in combination with DNp63a to reverse the mesenchymal phenotype in EPT1 cells. The partial reversion of epithelial to mesenchymal transition might reflect the ability of DNp63a, as a key co-ordinator of several epithelial gene expression modules, to reduce epithelial to mesenchymal plasticity (EMP). The utility of DNp63a expression and the potential of reduced EMP in order to counteract metastasis warrant further investigation. Examination of p63 binding profile in prostate cell model EP156T with EPT1 as negative control.

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition shed microvesicle proteome

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly conserved morphogenic process defined by the loss of epithelial characteristics and the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. EMT is associated with increased aggressiveness, invasiveness, and metastatic potential in carcinoma cells. To assess the contribution of extracellular vesicles following EMT, we conducted a proteomic analysis of shed microvesicles released from Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, and MDCK cells transformed with oncogenic H-Ras (21D1 cells).

TGFβ1 promotes collective invasion of oncogenically transformed intestinal organoids by inducing partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition independently of Snail1 and Zeb1

Project description:Cancer cells simultaneously featuring epithelial and mesenchymal traits appear particularly competent to invade and metastasize. However, genetic prerequisites and signaling pathways promoting such partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) remain obscure. Here we report that murine intestinal organoids with hyperactive Wnt and MAPK signaling, and mutant Trp53 are purely epithelial and non-invasive in vitro, but initiate a collective invasion program when treated with TGFβ1. Invasive organoids reciprocally interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM), and autonomously deposit and remodel components thereof. Although cells at the organoid/ECM interface shed certain epithelial characteristics, invasive organoids largely maintain epithelial gene expression while concomitantly upregulating a mesenchymal program. TGFβ1-induced phenotypic changes involve canonical, Smad4-dependent signaling, yet, are unimpeded by knockout of Snai1 and Zeb1 - otherwise key regulators of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions. The finding of TGFβ1-inducible, Snail1/Zeb1-independent collective invasion of oncogenically transformed intestinal organoids provides novel mechanistic insights and broadens the spectrum of context-dependent manifestations of partial EMT.
