Deskripsi
Acquisition of mesenchymal properties by cancer cells is a critical event for the development of malignancy. Here, the authors show that in renal cancer cells, lysosphosphatidic acid does not utilize the RhoA pathway but specifically activates the Arf6 mesenchymal pathway via its GPCRs and EFA6 to promote invasion, metastasis and drug resistance.
