Figure 6. Proposed mechanism for upregulated cell motility and invasiveness of A549 cell induced by DP2.

Figure 6

Our findings demonstrate that DP2 induces TLR2/4-ERK1/2 signal cascade that upregulates uPAR/uPA expression and secretion, contributing to enhancement of uPAR/integrin αV interaction, triggering the downstream FAK/Src, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK activation, increasing Rho A and MMP-2 expression, and consequently promoting cell migratory and invasive ability of NSCLC cell A549.
