epithelial cells

[Journal of Cell Science] Both cigarette smoke-exposed and COPD-patient derived epithelia displayed quantitative evidence of cellular plasticity, with loss of specialized apical features and a transcriptional profile suggestive of partial epithelial to mesenchymal transition, albeit with distinct cell motion indicative of cellular unjamming.

[Cell Death & Disease] The authors investigated the impact of apoptotic colorectal cancer cells on neutrophils and its consequence on other immune cells of the tumor microenvironment.

[Oncogene] Investigators demonstrated that hnRNP-E1 protein stability was increased upon ARIH1 silencing, whereas, overexpression of ARIH1 leads to a reduction in hnRNP-E1.

[Drug Development Research] Researchers examined the effects of in vitro treatment of A549 human lung epithelial cells with 17-β-estradiol on mRNA expression of genes coding for these proteins.

[mBio] Investigators developed a method for live-cell imaging of microbial infection dynamics on human adult stem cell-derived intestinal epithelial cell layers.

[Environmental Science and Pollution Research] The authors examined the viability of BEAS-2B and mRNA/protein expression profile of oxidative stress and inflammatory response-related transcription factors Nrf2, NF-kB, and according inflammatory indicators such as IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8, with a view to evaluating the effects of different interaction models of PM2.5 on epithelial cell damage in vitro.
