STIM1 signals through NFAT1 independently of Orai1 and SOCE to regulate breast cancer cell migration by Ayat S. Hammad (9592374)

“…SOCE has been shown to be important for breast cancer cell migration where knockdown of SOCE components (STIM1 or Orai1) decreases cancer metastasis. Here we show unexpectedly that complete knockout of STIM1 (STIM1-KO) using gene editing in metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells results in faster migration and enhanced invasion capacity. …”
