1 Effects of exposure to benzo[a]pyrene on metastasis of breast cancer are mediated through ROS-ERK-MMP9 axis signaling. ros mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Specifically, we demonstrated that benzo[a]pyrene enhances breast cancer cell migration and invasion by up-regulating ROS-induced ERK signaling, leading to the activation of matrix metalloproteinases 9. ros mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Our results suggest that benzo[a]pyrene-induced mammary gland cancer metastasis is an important and intricate process facilitated by cumulative benzo[a]pyrene exposure leading to activation of the ROS-ERK-MMP9 signaling pathway. ros mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
