Discovering ERK5's Role in Inhibiting Breast Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion

Sommaire:Since death from cancer is mostly due to metastasis, preventing metastasis is critical. Two steps in metastasis are migration and invasion. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of modulated ERK5 (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase-5) expression in breast cancer cell migration and invasion. It was concluded that tumour tissues have low ERK5 expression, and that upregulating ERK5 effectively inhibits breast cancer cell migration and invasion.
