The purpose of this study was to evaluate the importance of EPLIN in prostate cancer progression, with particular focus on the mechanistic implications to elucidate EPLIN's tumor suppressive function in cancer.
Collectively, this study reveals the molecular mechanism of LIMA1 downregulation in various cancers and suggests that LIMA1 may be a novel prognostic predictor and a therapeutic target for cancer.
We investigated the importance of EPLIN, a cytoskeletal associated protein implicated in cancer, in clinical prostate cancer and its role in the PC-3 prostate cancer cell line (ATCC™).
EPLIN expression is frequently reduced in a variety of cancer cells and tissues and this loss may account for increased invasive traits in cancer cells.
