Hsp90ab1 stabilizes LRP5 to promote epithelial–mesenchymal transition via activating of AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in gastric cancer progression

Hsp90ab1 is upregulated in numerous solid tumors, which is thought to induce the angiogenesis and promote cancer metastasis. However, it’s actions in gastric cancer (GC) has not been exhibited. In this study, Hsp90ab1 was demonstrated to be overexpressed and correlated with the poor prognosis, proliferation and invasion of GC. Ectopic expression of Hsp90ab1 promoted the proliferation and metastasis of GC cells both in vitro in cell line models...
