Astrocyte Elevated Gene-1 Interacts with Akt Isoform 2 to Control Glioma Growth, Survival, and Pathogenesis
11 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The oncogene astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1; MTDH) is highly expressed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and many other types of cancer, where it activates multiple signaling pathways that drive proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, chemoresistance, radioresistance, and metastasis. AEG-1 activates the Akt signaling pathway and Akt and c-Myc are positive regulators of AEG-1 transcription, generating a positive...
