Androgen receptor activation stabilizes a hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype in presence of Notch-Jagged signaling.

Abstract excerpt

Metastasis is a key cause of mortality in cancer. It is driven majorly by clusters of circulating tumor cells which are often comprised of cells in a hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) phenotype. Hybrid E/M phenotype has also been shown to be more tumor-initiating and therapy-resistant, but how cells maintain the hybrid E/M phenotype(s) remains an active area of investigation. Here, we develop a mathematical...
