Abstract:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common types of human cancers and frequently metastasizes to lymph nodes. We found that the protein expression pattern of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (RSK2) correlates with the invasive ability of diverse HNSCC cell lines, and with human head and neck cancer progression. Continued RSK2 expression is vital for maintenance of the invasive and metastatic potential of HNSCC cells in vitro and in vivo, respectively. In a phospho-antibody microarray-base… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
