    Macrophages Enhance Migration in Inflammatory Breast Cancer Cells via RhoC GTPase Signaling

    Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal form of breast cancer. All IBC patients have lymph node involvement and one-third of patients already have distant metastasis at diagnosis. This propensity f...

    RhoC Induces Differential Expression of Genes Involved in Invasion and Metastasis in MCF10A Breast Cells

    Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most deadly form of breast cancer in humans presumably due to its ability to metastasize from its inception. In our laboratory, overexpression of RhoC GTPase was observe...

    WISP3 and RhoC guanosine triphosphatase cooperate in the development of inflammatory breast cancer

    Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal form of locally advanced breast cancer. We found concordant and consistent alterations of two genes in 90% of IBC tumors when compared with stage-matched non...

    Mitogen activated protein kinase pathway is involved in RhoC GTPase induced motility, invasion and angiogenesis in inflammatory breast cancer

    Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal form of locally advanced breast cancer known. IBC carries a guarded prognosis primarily due to rapid onset of disease, typically within six months, and the p...
