Response of mouse mammary epithelial cells NMuMG to TGF-b1 - time course experiment. Identification of novel gene targets involved in TGF-b1-driven regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Identification of novel TGF-b1 and BMP-7-regulated genes in epithelial cells.
Human mammary epithelial cell line MDA-MB-468 that is lacking endogenous Smad4 was infected with either an adenovirus carrying GFP cDNA (control) or Smad4 cDNA (to restore the Smad4 activity in the cells). Cells w...
Activation of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling leads to established hallmarks of cancer such as the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), initiating cancer dissemination and increasing chemoresistance. TGF-β signal by binding to its type I and II receptors, leading to paralle...
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 v...

Estrogens receptor a (ERα) is essential for breast tumors,since about seventy percent of breast cancers are detected as ERα positive.Recent studies suggest that ERα is related with the epithelial cell morphology. Recently, it has demonstrated that the suppression of ERα induced epithelial-mesenc...
TGFB2-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA which is induced by ΤGFβ signaling. In order to assess the importance of TGFB2-AS1 on the regulation of gene expression, we performed an AmpliSeq transcriptomic array in human keratinocytes (HaCaT), which stably over-express TGFB2-AS1 or control pcDNA3 empty vector...
Snail1 is a transcription factor known to promote the epithelial to mesenchymal transition process and stemness. We have previously described that in Glioblastoma BMP7 promotes glioblastoma initiating cells (GICs) to differentiate towards the astrocytic lineage and to lose their self-renewal capacit...
The aim of this work was to elucidate the role of the transcription factor CXXC5 in glioblastoma and study its involvement in the regulation of TGFβ and BMP target genes in this context. To this end we used the patient derived glioblastoma stem cells U3034MG that were either transfected with siRNA t...
