Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 Regulates Colorectal Cancer Cell Proliferative, Migratory, Invasive and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Activities Through the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/Snail Signaling Axis

Abstract excerpt

In prior reports, extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) upregulation has been reported in colorectal cancer (CRC) patient tumor tissues, and has been suggested to be related to the metastatic progression of CRC, although the underlying mechanisms have yet to be clarified. In this study, we found that ECM1 was overexpressed in both CRC tissues and cell lines. Upregulation of ECM1 was correlated with tumor size,...
