Abstract:Non-visual arrestins (β-arrestins) are endocytic proteins that mediate agonist activated GPCRs internalization and signaling pathways in an independent manner. The involvement of β-arrestins in cancer invasion and metastasis is increasingly reported. So, it is hypothesized that inhibition of β-arrstins may diminish the survival chances of cancer cells. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro impact of inhibiting β-arrestins on the autophagic and/or apoptotic responsiveness of breast cancer cells. We used Bar… 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.
