Chronic NaAsO2 exposure promotes migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells by Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin/TCF4 axis-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition by Zhi-Hui Zhang, Hai-Xin Yan, Ming-Dong Liu, Feng-Wen Niu, Kai Yao, Shi-Yao Feng, Xi Li, Yuan-Hua Chen, Dong-Dong Xie

“…Mechanically, NaAsO2 promoted GSK-3β inactivation in the ''disruption complex'' through Akt- mediated phosphorylation at serine 9, and then inhibited the phosphorylation and ubiquitination degradation of β-catenin, which led to its nuclear translocation. Ly294002, a selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt inhibitor, suppressed the β-catenin/TCF4 complex activation and EMT through blocking Akt-mediated GSK-3β inactivation in the ''disruption complex'' in chronic NaAsO2 exposed DU145 and PC-3 cells. …”
