Abstract An epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) underlies malignant tumor progression and metastatic spread by enabling cancer cells to depart from the primary tumor, invade surrounding tissue, disseminate distant organs. EMT also enriches for stem (CSC) increases capacity of initiate propagate tumors upon transplantation into immune-deficient mice, a major hallmark CSCs. However, molecular mechanisms promoting tumorigenicity undergoing an CSCs have remained widely elusive. We here...
Ionizing radiation (IR) can cause gastrointestinal syndrome (GIS), a lethal disorder, by means of unknown mechanisms. We show that high-dose irradiation increases unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor (URI) levels in mouse intestinal crypt, but organ regeneration correlates with URI reductions. overexpression intestine protects mice from radiation-induced GIS, whereas halving expression sensitizes to IR. specifically inhibits β-catenin stem cell-like label-retaining (LR) cells, which are...
