Fibronectin (FN), an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein, is a well-known marker for Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). In the ECM, FN has been shown to form long fibrils and play critical roles in regulating cellular attachment and migration during EMT associated with physiological processes such as embryonic development, wound healing as well as pathological processes such as tissue fibrosis and cancer. Subsequently, the cytokine, Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ), an inducer of EMT, was found to induce FN expression in a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) dependent manner. Moreover, extracellular FN, by itself, was also shown to induce EMT in breast epithelial cells in serum-free condition. Collectively, all the literature published so far has shown and established the role of extracellular FN during EMT. In this report, we have shown that EMT induced entry of FN into the nucleus of mouse breast epithelial cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing nuclear localization of the extracellular matrix protein Fibronectin during EMT and thereby suggests a possible nuclear function for the ECM protein.
