Core Tip

Core Tip: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of Abelson interactor 1 splice isoform-L (ABI1-SiL) in the metastatic behavior of colorectal carcinoma cells. Our results showed that ABI1-SiL played a key role in cell surface area, adhesion, and migration, but not in proliferation and apoptosis in SW480 cells. ABI1-SiL may have anti-oncogenic roles by competitively binding to WAVE2, and directly interacting with phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated ABI1-p65, functioning as a dominant-negative molecule towards ABI1-p65.
