Aurora-A, a Negative Prognostic Marker, Increases Migration and Decreases Radiosensitivity in Cancer Cells
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Centrosomal Aurora-A (Aur-A) kinase ensures proper spindle assembly and accurate chromosome segregation in mitosis. Overexpression of Aur-A leads to centrosome amplification, aberrant spindle, and consequent genetic instability. In the present study, Aur-A was found to be overexpressed in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Moreover, Aur-A expression was adversely correlated with median survival, and...
