Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III–Induced Glioma Invasion Is Mediated through Myristoylated Alanine-Rich Protein Kinase C Substrate Overexpression

Abstract excerpt

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and most malignant adult brain tumor. A characteristic of GBM is their highly invasive nature, making complete surgical resection impossible. The most common gain-of-function alteration in GBM is amplification, overexpression, and mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The constitutively activated mutant EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII), found in...
