Tumor Immune Microenvironment during Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been shown to play a critical role in tumor development from initiation to metastasis. EMT could be regarded as a continuum, with intermediate hybrid epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes having high plasticity.

LncRNA UCC Promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition via the miR-143-3p/SOX5 Axis in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

A dual-luciferase reporter system and RIP assays showed that UCC specifically bound to miR-143-3p and acted as a sponge of miR-143-3p in NSCLC cells.

Zinc‐Finger E‐Box‐Binding Homeobox 1 (ZEB1) Plays a Crucial Role in the Maintenance of Lung Cancer Stem Cells Resistant to Gefitinib

PC9 and HCC827 non‐small cell lung cancer cell lines were treated with high concentrations of gefitinib, and surviving cells were referred to as “gefitinib‐resistant persisters” (GRPs). Zinc‐finger E‐box‐binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) knockdown or overexpression was performed to determine the biological significance of ZEB1 in the cancer stem cell features of GRPs, and animal models were studied for in vivo validation.

miR‑454‑3p Inhibits Non‑Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis by Targeting TGFB2

miR‑454‑3p overexpression led to the suppression of proliferation, migration, and invasion in A549 and NCI‑H1650 cells. The overexpression of miR‑454‑3p in A549 and NCI‑H1650 cells significantly inhibited EMT. TGFB2 was revealed to be a direct target of miR‑454‑3p by using TargetScan database and luciferase reporter assay.
