Abstract
In this study, we investigated the role of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) in a platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced experimental pulmonary tumor metastasis model. An adenovirus carrying PTEN cDNA (Ad-PTEN) reversed PAF-induced increase in phosphorylation of AKT as well as pulmonary metastasis of B16F10. PAF-induced pulmonary metastasis was inhibited by MAPK inhibitors, but not by PI3K inhibitor. Ad-PTEN abrogated PAF-induced phosphorylation of MAPKs. These data indicate PTEN/MAPK pathways play a key role in PAF-induced tumor metastasis.Entities:
