A REVIEW ON THE ROLE OF ASROCYTE ELEVATED GENE-1 IN CANCER

AEG-1 expression is known to elevate in diverse cancers, where it plays a primary role in activating multiple signaling pathways that drives copious oncogenic properties. The versatile role of AEG-1 in mediating oncogenesis was found to be cognate with numerous signaling cascades such as the activation of NF-κB/p65, Ha‑Ras, PI3K/Akt, ERK/MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, AURKA and RNAi pathways. In additio...
