Remodeling of purinergic receptor-mediated Ca2+ signaling as a consequence of EGF-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells.
<h4>Background</h4>The microenvironment plays a pivotal role in tumor cell proliferation, survival and migration. Invasive cancer cells face a new set of environmental challenges as they breach the basement membrane and colonize distant organs during the process of metastasis. Phenotypic...

To determine whether changes in ATP-mediated Ca(2+) signaling are preceded by alterations in the transcriptional profile of purinergic receptors, we analyzed the expression of a panel of P2X ionotropic and P2Y metabotropic purinergic receptors using real-time RT-PCR and found significant and specific alterations in the suite of ATP-activated purinergic receptors during EGF-induced EMT in breast cancer cells. Our studies are the first to show that P2X(5) ionotropic receptors are enriched in the mesenchymal phenotype and that silencing of P2X(5) leads to a significant reduction (25%, P<0.05) in EGF-induced vimentin protein expression.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The acquisition of a new suite of cell surface purinergic receptors is a feature of EGF-mediated EMT in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells.

<h4>Background</h4>The microenvironment plays a pivotal role in tumor cell proliferation, survival and migration.
