Impact of p38γ mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells using metabolomic approach.

Background: The expression of p38 MAPK is high in breast cancer while its subunit p38γ had been rarely reported. We aimed to explain the effect of p38γ in breast cancer from the perspective of metabolomics.

Methods: In this study, we detected the expression of p38γ in 28 breast carcinoma and para-tumor samples.
