Research Abstract

Actinin-4 mRNA and protein levels are elevated in bladder cancer cells lines that exhibit increased growth and invasion activity. In addition, actinin-4 knockdown inhibited invasion of bladder cancer cells, but did not alter their growth. In conclusion, we hypothesize that the accumulation of actinin-4 in the cell cytoplasm, rather than its recruitment to the cell membrane, is related to an increased susceptibility of tumor invasion and metastasis.
