“…Skp2 is involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis of many malignant human tumors [ 16 , 17 ], and is over-expressed in many types of human cancers, including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer [ 19 , 20 ], prostate cancer [ 21 , 22 ], pancreatic cancer [ 23 ], multiple myeloma [ 24 ], gastric cancer [ 25 , 26 ], melanoma [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], lymphoma [ 30 , 31 , 32 ], nasopharyngeal carcinoma [ 33 , 34 ], and osteosarcoma [ 35 , 36 ]. Over-expression of Skp2 is often associated with higher grades and a greater malignancy of tumors as well as a poor prognosis of cancers, such as breast cancer [ 37 , 38 ], nasopharyngeal carcinoma [ 33 ], rectal cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy [ 39 ], oral squamous cell carcinomas [ 40 ], and non-small-cell lung cancer [ 41 ], which suggests that Skp2 engages in tumorigenic activity and is a promising target for cancer therapy.…”
