Lack of Matrilin-2 favors liver tumor development via Erk1/2 and GSK-3β pathways in vivo. by Alexandra Fullár, Kornélia Baghy, Ferenc Deák, Bálint Péterfia, Yvonne Zsák, Péter Tátrai, Zsuzsa Schaff, József Dudás, Ibolya Kiss, Ilona Kovalszky

“…This enhanced proliferative capacity was further increased in the tumor nodules of DEN-treated Matn2(-/-) livers. Our study suggests that Matn2 functions as a tumor suppressor in hepatocarcinogenesis, and in this process activation of EGFR together with that of Erk1/2, as well as inactivation of GSK-3β, play strategic roles.…”
