Tumor invasion and metastasis is a multi-step process that requires adaptation of cancer cells to conditions that they encounter during their journey to distant body sites. Understanding the molecular processes that underlie this adaptation is of exceeding importance because most cancer patients die because of metastases rather than primary tumors. In this review we assess genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) that have been established to investigate mechanisms of cancer invasion and metastasis.

Elevated MRPS23 expression facilitates aggressive phenotypes in breast cancer cells.

Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)

January 2025

Department of Integrative Medicine, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S23 (MRPS23), encoded by a nuclear gene, is a well-known driver of proliferation in cancer. It participates in mitochondrial protein translation, and its expression association has been explored in many types of cancer. However, MRPS23 expression associations are rarely reported in breast cancer (BC).

Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, Second Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China. Electronic address:

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health burden due to its high aggressiveness, early metastasis, and poor prognosis. Despite advances in chemotherapy and targeted therapies, drug resistance remains a major obstacle to improving patient outcomes. Integrins, a family of transmembrane receptors, play a pivotal role in mediating tumor growth, invasion, and drug resistance by interacting with the tumor microenvironment (TME) and regulating signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, FAK, and MAPK.

The emerging landscape of small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 in cancer mechanistic insights and clinical relevance.

Cell Signal

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330008, Jiangxi, China. Electronic address:

Small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) is a newly recognized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with significant implications in cancer biology. Abnormal expression of SNHG10 has been observed in various solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Research conducted in vivo and in vitro has revealed that SNHG10 plays a pivotal role in numerous biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration, drug resistance, energy metabolism, immune evasion, as well as tumor growth and metastasis.

NFKB1 as a key player in Tumor biology: from mechanisms to therapeutic implications.

Cell Biol Toxicol

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, No. 36 Sanhao Street, Heping District, Shenyang , Liaoning Province, China.

NFKB1, a core transcription factor critical in various biological process (BP), is increasingly studied for its role in tumors. This research combines literature reviews, meta-analyses, and bioinformatics to systematically explore NFKB1's involvement in tumor initiation and progression. A unique focus is placed on the NFKB1-94 ATTG promoter polymorphism, highlighting its association with cancer risk across diverse genetic models and ethnic groups, alongside comprehensive analysis of pan-cancer expression patterns and drug sensitivity.
