Expression data from mouse breast cancer tissue: Serglycin heterozygous and knock-out conditions
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Serglycin proteoglycans contribute to proper storage and secretion of inflammatory mediators in hematopoietic cells. Serglycin is also expressed in cancer cells where increased expression has been linked to poor prognosis. In the present study we report that serglycin proteoglycan is absolutely required for metastasis in the MMTV-PyMT-driven mouse breast cancer model. Serglycin seems to play a role in promoting epithelial to mesenchymal transition, cancer-related inflammation and extravasation. Our results suggest that serglycin and serglycin-dependent mediators are potential drug targets to prevent metastatic disease/dissemination of cancer.
