Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A drives melanoma metastasis and immune evasion via IGF signaling
2025-09-23
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Melanoma is one of the most common cancers diagnosed during pregnancy. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPPA) is a secreted metalloproteinase that increases local insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability via proteolytic cleavage of IGF-binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) to induce PI3K/AKT signaling. While the PAPPA/IGF axis has been implicated in tumor progression o...
