LncRNA MEG3 Inhibits the Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition of Bladder Cancer Cells through the Snail/E-cadherin Axis - Current Medical Science
Objective This study aimed to investigate the role of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of bladder cancer cells and the…

Uncovering synthetic lethal vulnerabilities across cancers. Upregulation of #TWIST1/2, #VIM, and integrin components ( #ITGB5, #ITGAV, #FERMT2 ) constitutes a synthetic lethal buffering mechanism that preserves tumor fitness despite #CDH1 #Ecadherin loss #lobular #DGC

The transcriptomic architecture of common cancers reflects synthetic lethal interactions - Nature Genetics
Tumor cells upregulate compensatory buffering genes following tumor suppressor loss. These genes may represent new synthetic lethal partners that could be harnessed therapeutically.

Congrats @debeblab.bsky.social @mdanderson.bsky.social on their nice work showing soluble ecadherin role in brain Mets in IBC. Enhances astrocytosis to activate CXCR2 signaling that can be targeted to prevent colonization of brain Mets. #SABCS24 Congrats Ding! #cansky #oncsky

Further, the major apical actin belt co-localizes with Afadin & Nectin, not the cadherin/catenin complex! 12/n

Bill’s impact on our understanding of cell–cell adhesion was even more central. This rested on a long collaboration with James Nelson & more recently biophysicist Alex Dunn. Building on their structure of β-cat’s central domain, they defined how β-cat binds α-catenin & E-cadherin 13/n
