Research Abstract |
We have previously shown that the GEP100-Arf6-AMAP1 pathway, activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, is involved in the acquisition of breast cancer invasiveness. Our analyses demonstrate that the activation of GEP100-Arf6-AMAP1 pathway via the c-Met/HGFR signaling is essential for the acquisition of the invasiveness of some breast cancer cells during hypoxia- or TGFss1-induced EMT. Moreover, we found that the expression of some molecules within the GEP100-Arf6-AMAP1 pathway are regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) or EZH2, which have shown to be involved in the initiation and maintenance of the stemness in hypoxia.
