Identification of a novel AMPK-PEA15 axis in the anoikis-resistant growth of mammary cells
2014
Introduction
Matrix detachment triggers anoikis, a form of apoptosis, in most normal epithelial cells, while acquisition of anoikis resistance is a prime requisite for solid tumor growth. Of note, recent studies have revealed that a small population of normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) survive in suspension and generate multicellular spheroids termed ‘mammospheres’. Therefore, understanding how normal HMECs overcome anoikis may provide insights into breast cancer initiation and progression.
