LOX-1 is a poor prognostic indicator and induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in pancreatic cancer patients
2018
Purpose
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an aggressive type of cancer that exhibits a rapid progression. Previously LOX-1, which is a type II trans-membrane glycoprotein that is expressed in endothelial cells, has been found to be involved in the development of several types of cancer. As yet, however, the expression of LOX-1 and its functional consequences in PC have not been documented. The present study was aimed at investigating the prognostic relevance of LOX-1 expression in PC patients and at resolving its role in PC metastasis.
