Abstract

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a pro-oncogenic cytokine that induces the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a crucial event in tumor progression. During TGF-β-mediated EMT in NMuMG mouse mammary epithelial cells, we observed sustained increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the cytoplasm and mitochondria with a concomitant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular glutathione levels. In pseudo ρ0 cells, whose respiratory chain function was impaired, the increase in intracellular ROS levels was abrogated, suggesting an important role of mitochondrial activity as a trigger for TGF-β-stimulated ROS generation. In line with this, TGF-β-mediated expression of the EMT marker fibronectin was inhibited not only by chemicals that interfere with ROS signaling but also by exogenously expressed mitochondrial thioredoxin (TXN2) independent of Smad signaling. Of note, TGF-β-mediated induction of HMGA2, a central mediator of EMT and metastatic progression, was similarly impaired by TXN2 expression, revealing a novel mechanism involving a thiol oxidation reaction in mitochondria, which regulates TGF-β-mediated gene expression associated with EMT.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
