“…Lue et al described how MAPK is upregulated by heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF)-mediated signaling, in which the HB-EGF is cut from the PCa surface by the zinc transporter, ZIP6 (LIV-1), which stimulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9 upregulation in other PCa cells [11]. Interferon (INF)-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3), a highly expressed transmembrane protein in cancer cells, is believed to be associated with metastasis in various cancers, e.g., acute myeloid leukemia, hepatomas, and gliomas [12][13][14][15]. In PCa, IFITM3 promotes fibroblast growth factor (FGF) expression and promotes TGF-β production, which elicits the EMT in neighboring cells in a paracrine manner [16].…”
