Abstract excerpt
Constitutive activation of the MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK)1-ERK2 signaling module in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK)-C7 cells disrupts their ability to form cyst-like structures in collagen gels and induces an invasive, myofibroblast-like phenotype. However, the reversibility of these cellular events, as well as the relative role of both MEK isoforms (MEK1 and MEK2) and both ERK isoforms (ERK1 and ERK2) during these...
