Abstract excerpt
Compared to metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells, nonmetastatic LLC cells have increased levels of activity of the protein phosphatase PP-2A, which functions to limit their migration through transwell chambers. Inhibition of PP-2A in nonmetastatic LLC stimulates their transmigration to levels similar to those of metastatic LLC cells. Studies to define the signaling pathways intermediate between diminished...
