Figure 8. Model for P4-induced migration enhancement in breast cancer cells.

Figure 8

P4 activated the cSrc/AKT signaling pathway, which in turn induced activation of RSK1, subsequently causing p27 phosphorylation at T198 and increasing formation of the p27-RhoA complex, and eventually enhanced migration of breast cancer cells. P4 also activated the cSrc/ERK1/2 signaling pathway to induce IκBα activation and NFκB nuclear translocation, which in turn up-regulated the expression of RSK1 and p27. The increased expression of RSK1 and p27 are not required, but might have some degree of contributions, for the P4-induced migration enhancement in breast cancer cells.
