Role of the LKB1/AMPK pathway in tumor invasion and metastasis of cancer cells (Review)
18 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1), also known as serine/threo-nine kinase 11 (STK11), is a tumor suppressor that is inactivated in Peutz-Jeghers familial cancer syndrome. LKB1 phosphorylates and activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which negatively regulates cancer cell proliferation and metabolism. However, recent evidence demonstrates that the LKB1/AMPK pathway is involved in the process of tumor invasion and...
