Abstract:To determine the paracrine effect of cultured fibroblasts on HeLa cell motility and mTOR/ S6K1 phosphorylation status in vitro. Background. High cancer cell motility is a feature of the malignant tumor. The mTOR/S6K1 signaling network is one of the key links in regulation of cell migration. The cancer cell motility is also dependent on the tumor microenvironment but the effect of stroma on cancer cell migration is insufficiently studied. Methods. Cell culture, Western blot analysis, scratch test, statistical a… Show more
