Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The lung is one of the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis. While metastatic seeding is often accompanied by a dormancy-promoting mesenchymal to epithelial reverting transitions (MErT), we aimed to determine whether lung epithelial cells can impart this phenotype on aggressive breast cancer cells. METHODS: Co-culture experiments of normal lung epithelial cell lines (SAEC, NHBE or BEAS-2B) and...
