Abstract

Actin cytoskeletal dysregulation gives rise to metastatic dissemination of cancer cells. This study mechanistically investigates the impact of specific functional disruption of MRTF (a transcriptional co-factor of SRF) on breast cancer cell migration.This study establishes a novel mechanism linking mDia2 to MRTF-dependent regulation of cell migration and provides clinical evidence for the association between MRTF activity and increased malignancy in human breast cancer.Findings from these studies justify future exploration of specific small molecule inhibitor of the MRTF-SRF transcriptional complex as a potential therapeutic agent in breast cancer.
