Abstract excerpt
Interleukin 1β has been associated with tumor development, invasiveness and metastasis in various types of cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association have not been clearly elucidated. The present study is the first to show, in breast cancer cells, that an IL-1β/IL-1RI/β-catenin signaling pathway induces β-catenin accumulation due to GSK3β inactivation by Akt phosphorylation....
