The FBXW7 tumor suppressor inhibits breast cancer proliferation and promotes apoptosis by targeting MTDH for degradation

Abstract excerpt

Metadherin (MTDH) is an oncoprotein and is expressed at high levels in a wide variety of human carcinomas, which represents an important genetic determinant and regulates multiple events in tumorigenesis. MTDH promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis through the activation of numerous signaling pathways. Currently, the mecha- nism regulating MTDH expression is poorly understood. Here we...
