RAGE modulates cell growth by p53-dependent p21CIP1 up-regulation, which restrains the kinase activity of CDK2 and then blocks the complete phosphorylation of RB. Otherwise, RAGE promotes EMT progression through ERK activation, which decreases E-cadherin through up-regulates Slug, Snail, and Twist expressions. RAGE enhances angiogenesis and TAM infiltration, providing a beneficial tumor microenvironment for tumorigenesis.
