miR-182 suppresses invadopodia formation and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer by targeting cortactin gene
9 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer mortality and is a major hurdle for lung cancer treatment. Invadopodia, which are cancer-specific protrusive structures, play a crucial role in the metastatic cascade through degradation of the basement membrane and surrounding stroma. Cortactin, a critical component of invadopodia, frequently used as an invadopodia marker, a universally important player in...
