In non-metastatic gastric cancer cells, gelsolin interacts with PKR and inhibits the activation of PKR. However, in metastatic cancer cells, gelsolin is down-regulated, which allows for the autophosphorylation of PKR. PKR activation leads to the activation of p38 protein and downstream signaling pathway to promote the metastasis of gastric cancer.
