Paving the path for invasion: The polyedric role of LASP1 in cancer

Although usually referred to as a structural actin-binding protein, LIM and SH3 domain-containing protein may actually be dynamically involved in the control of a wide spectrum of cellular processes, by virtue of its interaction with several molecular partners. Alongside being ubiquitously expressed...

description Although usually referred to as a structural actin-binding protein, LIM and SH3 domain-containing protein may actually be dynamically involved in the control of a wide spectrum of cellular processes, by virtue of its interaction with several molecular partners. Alongside being ubiquitously expressed in physiological conditions, LIM and SH3 domain-containing protein is overexpressed in a growing number of human cancers, in which it may actively contribute to their aggressiveness by promoting cell proliferation and migration. In view of the recent findings, implicating the protein in cancer progression, we discuss here the most relevant discoveries highlighting the role of this versatile protein in various human tumors. The correlation between LIM and SH3 domain-containing protein expression levels in cancer and the poor outcome and metastatic behavior of tumors denotes the clinical significance of this protein and hints its potential value as a new cancer prognostic or even diagnostic biomarker. This may be decisive not only to optimize existing pharmacological regimes but also to delineate novel, more efficacious therapeutic and/or preventive approaches.
