Transduction of a Mesenchyme-specific Gene Periostin into 293T Cells Induces Cell Invasive Activity through Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transformation

Open access
Yan, Wei, Shao, Rong·2006·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Tumor metastasis is a multistep pathological process involved in the final phase of tumor development. During this process, epithelium-derived tumor cells undergo fibroblast-like transformation, referred to as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which contributes to aggressive behavior of tumors. We identify periostin, a mesenchyme-specific gene product, as a contributor to EMT and metastatic potential. Stable expression of a periostin transgene in tumorigenic but non-metastatic 293T cells caused cells to undergo fibroblast-like transformation accompanied by increased expressions of vimentin, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and matrix metalloproteinase-9. The cells expressing ectopic periostin increased cell migration, invasion, and adhesion by 2-9-fold. Invasive characteristics required signaling through integrin alpha(v)beta5 and EGFR. In addition, periostin-engineered 293T cells formed metastases in immunodeficient mice following either cardiac inoculation or injection into mammary fat pad. These data demonstrate an active role for periostin in EMT and metastasis that requires cross-talk between integrin and EGFR signaling pathways.

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.
