Japanese researchers have found that a protein called GEP100 can cause cell metastases in breast cancer cellsWriting in the latest issue of the online edition of the british journal Nature Cell Biology, researchers at the Osaka Institute of Biological Sciences in Japan and researchers at Kyoto University'sandOitathatbreast cancer, if it worsens,proliferative cancer cells destroy theof breast wall immersion,spread through the blood and lymphThey foundby analyzing malignant breast cancer cells,the number of proteins in these cells, "GEP100", increased by,the protein was almost zero in normal cellsThe researchers cultured malignant breast cancer cells in a petri dish and managed to inhibit the production of "GEP100." It was found that the immersion of these treated cells decreased compared to the normal malignant breast cancer cellsIn another experiment, the researchers injected individual breast cancer cells that could not produce "GEP100" and malignant breast cancer cells that could not produce "GEP100" into laboratory mice, and although both cells proliferated, cancer cells that could not produce "GEP100" did not transfer to other organs and tissues The researchers believe that the development of drugs that inhibit the generation of "GEP100" could be a new direction for breast cancer treatment research in the future
