Expression of β-globin by cancer cells promotes cell survival during blood-borne dissemination
2017
Circulating tumour cells contribute to metastatic spread. Here the authors find that beta-chain of haemoglobin is overexpressed in those cells and protects them from oxidative stress, prolonging their survival in circulation and thereby increasing the likelihood of metastasis formation.
