View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Cancer death in CRC is mainly due to tumor recurrence and distant metastasis. Sprouty2 (SPRY2), an endogenous suppressor of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)/ Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, acts as a tumor suppressor in breast, prostate, and liver cancer. We discovered oncogenic role of SPRY2 in CRC. The objectives of this application are to assess the requirement and significance... |
