Abstract excerpt
Although mounting evidence suggests a role for G(12) proteins, G(α12) and G(α13), in tumor progression, a direct role of G(12) proteins has not been determined. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism for a tumorigenic and invasive potential of G(α12) and G(α13) in MCF10A human breast epithelial cells. Here, we report, for the first time, that G(α12) and G(α13) induce upregulation of matrix...
