The role of endothelial-mesenchymal transition in development and pathological process
Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition is an important developmental process, participates in tumor's formation, invasion, and metastasis and has been extensively studied. Recently, endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), a newly recognized type of cellular transdifferentiation, has been demonstrated to participate in a number of diseases by causing morphology changes and pathological processes. Previous studies showed that EndMT was a critical process of embryonic cardiac development. Not only that recent advances also suggested that EndMT occurred postnatally in cancer and cardiac fibrosis and emerged as a possible source of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs were found to acquire properties that promoted tumor development and metastasis formation. Resident endothelial cells undergoing EndMT lose their endothelial markers, acquire a mesenchymal or myofibroblastic phenotype, express mesenchymal cell products such as α-smooth muscle actin and type I collagen and develop invasive and migratory abilities. EndMT-derived cells are believed to function as fibroblasts in damaged tissue and may therefore have an important role in pathological process. However, little is known about the signaling mechanisms that cause endothelial cells to transform into mesenchymal cells. Transforming growth factor-β, Notch, or other signaling pathways could direct or interact to mediate EndMT. Therefore, to explore the signaling mechanisms of EndMT may provide novel therapeutic strategies for…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
