用综合计算和实验方法研究上皮向间充质转化

Investigating Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition with Integrated Computational and Experimental Approaches

Jianhua Xing, Xiao-Jun Tian

摘要:

上皮细胞和间质细胞之间的转化(EMT)是一个基本的细胞过程,在发育、癌症转移和组织伤口愈合中起着关键作用。EMT不是一个二元过程,而是涉及多个部分EMT状态,引起高度的细胞状态可塑性。在这里,我们首先回顾了几项研究的理论预测和实验验证这些中间状态,部分EMT对肾纤维化发展的作用,以及定量信号信息如何控制细胞承诺的部分或全部EMT瞬时信号。接下来,我们总结了现有的知识和开放的问题之间的耦合EMT和其他生物过程,如细胞周期,表观遗传调控,干细胞和凋亡。两者合计,EMT是一个模型系统,吸引了越来越多的兴趣,定量的实验和理论研究。

英文摘要:

The transition between epithelial and mesenchymal (EMT) is a fundamental cellular process that plays critical roles in development, cancer metastasis, and tissue wound healing. EMT is not a binary process but involves multiple partial EMT states that give rise to a high degree of cell state plasticity. Here, we first reviewed several studies on theoretical predictions and experimental verification of these intermediate states, the role of partial EMT on kidney fibrosis development, and how quantitative signaling information controls cell commitment to partial or full EMT upon transient signals. Next, we summarized existing knowledge and open questions on the coupling between EMT and other biological processes, such as the cell cycle, epigenetic regulation, stemness, and apoptosis. Taken together, EMT is a model system that has attracted increasing interests for quantitative experimental and theoretical studies.
