Abstract

Lung cancer is the first leading cause of cancer‑related death in the United States. Non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and is associated with a poor patient prognosis. Identification of promising molecular targets is required for the effective prevention and therapy of NSCLC. Epithelial‑specific ETS‑1 (ESE‑1) belongs to the superfamily of ETS transcription factors. The effect of ESE‑1 on tumorigenesis is controversial in several types of cancer while its role in lung cancer remains unknown. The present study was designed to investigate whether ESE‑1 expression affects tumorigenic activity using human NSCLC cells and a mouse xenograft model. ESE‑1 expression suppressed anchorage‑independent growth in soft agar assay and led to an increase in G1 arrest and apoptosis in human NSCLC cells. ESE‑1 expression suppressed the invasion and migration of human NSCLC cells. Western blot analysis, RT‑PCR and promoter assay indicated that ESE‑1 expression was transcriptionally downregulated by treatment of transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β, an EMT (epithelial‑mesenchymal transition) stimulator. The xenograft study indicated that ESE‑1 expression inhibited tumor formation and development. Our data demon...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
