In this issue of Developmental Cell, Li et al. develop a novel lineage tracing system to record EMT activity during lung metastasis of mammary tumors. Using EMT-tracer mouse models, they reveal that N-cadherin is transiently expressed by most metastasis-initiating cells and demonstrate its functional importance during the metastatic cascade.
本期《发育细胞》中,李等人开发了一种新的谱系追踪系统,以记录乳腺肿瘤肺转移过程中的 EMT 活性。他们利用 EMT 示踪小鼠模型,揭示了大多数起始转移细胞短暂表达 N-钙黏蛋白,并证明了其在转移级联反应过程中的功能重要性。
