Newly emerging transformed cells are often eliminated from the epithelium via cell competition with the surrounding normal cells. A number of recent studies using mammalian cell competition systems have demonstrated that cells with various types of oncogenic insults are extruded from the tissue in a cell death-dependent or -independent manner. Cell competition-mediated elimination of transformed cells, called EDAC (epithelial defense against cancer), represents an intrinsic anti-tumor activity within the epithelial cell society to reduce the risk of oncogenesis. Here we delineate roles and molecular mechanisms of this homeostatic process, especially focusing on mammalian models.
