| Research Abstract |
We established melanoma cells overexpressing proteolipid protein 2 (PLP2). We found that PLP2 enhanced adhesion, motility, and invasion in vitro, and tumor metastasis in vivo. PLP2 siRNA treatment remarkably inhibited adhesion, motility, and invasion in vitro, and prevented tumor metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, we showed that PLP2 binds PI3K, thus activating Akt.
