The molecular mechanisms behind the aggressiveness of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a highly invasive and metastatic head and neck malignancy, have not been made clear. In this study investigating these mechanisms, guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha(12) subunit (G(alpha)(12)) signaling was found by microarray analysis to be increased in primary NPC cells and NPC-derived cell lines. Using small interfering RNA to knock down G(alpha)(12) in NPC cells resulted in a reduction in cell migrati ...[more]
