Loss of sphingosine kinase 1 increases lung metastases in the MMTV-PyMT mouse model of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a very heterogeneous disease, and ~30% of breast cancer patients succumb to metastasis, highlighting the need to understand the mechanisms of breast cancer progression in order to identify new molecular targets for treatment. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) has been shown to be upregulat...
