Elevated Sodium Pump α3 Subunit Expression Promotes Colorectal Liver Metastasis via the p53-PTEN/IGFBP3-AKT-mTOR Axis
The sodium pump α3 subunit is associated with colorectal liver metastasis. However, the underlying mechanism involved in this effect is not yet known. In this study, we found that the expression levels of the sodium pump α3 subunit were positively associated with metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC...
