Although activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) pathway may be associated with cancer progression in some malignant tumors, its roles in lung metastasis of SACC remains unclear," scientists in Beijing, People's Republic of China report. "We examined the expression of activated ERK1/2 in SACC-LM with high king-metastatic rate and SACC-83 with low king-metastatic rate, as well as in the tissues from lung-metastatic and non-metastatic groups of SACC patients. Western blot analysis indicated that SACC-LM exhibited higher expression of activated...
