A Synthetic Biology Approach Reveals a CXCR4-G <sub>13</sub> -Rho Signaling Axis Driving Transendothelial Migration of Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells
20 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Tumor cells can co-opt the promigratory activity of chemokines and their cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to metastasize to regional lymph nodes or distant organs. Indeed, the migration toward SDF-1 (stromal cell-derived factor 1) of tumor cells bearing CXCR4 [chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4] has been implicated in the lymphatic and organ-specific metastasis of various human malignancies. Here, we...
