The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process in which epithelial cells change into mesenchymal with fibroblast-like characteristics. EMT plays crucial role the progression of fibrosis. Classical inducers associated maintenance EMT, such as TGF-β1, have become targets several anti-EMT therapeutic strategies. Natural products from pentacyclic triterpene class emerged promising elements inhibiting EMT. Uvaol found olive trees (Olea europaea L.) known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties. Yet, effect on TGF-β1-induced alveolar unknown. present study aimed to investigate impact uvaol upon cultured A549 human cell line, classic vitro model studies Changes shape were measured using phase-contrast confocal microscopy, whereas protein expression levels immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, Western blotting.

Nutrient restriction in cancer cells can activate a number of stress response pathways for cell survival. We aimed to determine mechanistically how nutrient depletion colorectal (CRC) leads cellular adaptation. Cell survival under (ND) was evaluated by colony formation and vivo tumor assays. Lysosomes are activated with ND; therefore, we incubated the ND V-ATPase inhibitor Bafilomycin A1 (ND+Baf).

ABSTRACT Limited nutrient availability in the tumor microenvironment can cause rewiring of signaling and metabolic networks to confer cancer cells with survival advantages. We show here that limitation glucose, glutamine serum from culture medium resulted a population high viability capacity form tumors vivo. These also displayed remarkable increase abundance size lysosomes. Moreover, lysosomes were located mainly perinuclear region nutrient‐limited cells; this translocation was mediated by rapid post‐transcriptional key endolysosomal trafficking protein Rab7a. The acidic could trap weakly basic drugs such as doxorubicin, mediating resistance drug, which be partially reversed lysosomal inhibitor bafilomycin A1. An vivo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay indicated decrease microtumor volume when treated 5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) A1 compared either agent alone. Overall, our data indicate activation complementary pathways enable survive, proliferate acquire drug resistance.

Tissue transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) and matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) are suggested to be involved in cancer development progression, however, their specific role colon remains elusive. The present study investigated whether TGM2 MMP7 influence epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) processes of cells. was either overexpressed or knocked down SW480 HCT-116 cells, expression activity analyzed. Conversely, silenced its correlation with examined. Co-immunoprecipitation served evaluate TGM2-MMP7-interaction. were correlated invasion, migration, EMT marker (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Slug, Snail), ERK/MEK signaling. overexpression enhanced activity, promoted cell migration EMT, characterized by increased N-cadherin Snail/Slug expression. knockdown resulted the opposite effects. Knocking associated reduced protein expression, invasion migration. Down-regulation diminished signaling, whereas up-regulation activated this pathway. ERK-inhibitor GDC-0994 blocked phosphorylation MEK/ERK suppressed MMP7. communicates cells forces signaling pathway triggers EMT. Inhibiting could thus offer new therapeutic options treat patients cancer, particularly prevent metastatic progression.

Abstract EGFR mutations are a major prognostic factor in lung adenocarcinoma. However, current detection methods require sufficient samples and costly. Deep learning is promising for mutation prediction histopathological image analysis but has limitations that it does not sufficiently reflect tumor heterogeneity lacks interpretability. In this study, we developed deep model to predict the presence of by analyzing patterns whole slide images (WSIs). We also introduced prevalence (EMP) score, which quantifies WSIs based on patch‐level predictions, evaluated its interpretability utility. Our estimates probability each patch partitioning WSI multiple‐instance predicts at level. utilized patch‐masking scheduler training strategy enable learn various EGFR. This study included 868 from adenocarcinoma patients collected three medical institutions: Hallym University Medical Center, Inha Hospital, Chungnam National Hospital. For test dataset, 197 were Ajou Center evaluate mutations. demonstrated performance with an area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.7680 (0.7607–0.7720) precision‐recall 0.8391 (0.8326–0.8430).
