Anoikis-resistance of tumor cells is critical for anchorage-independent growth and metastasis. The inflammatory-response transcription factor NF-κB contributes to anoikis-resistance and tumor progression through mechanisms that are understood incompletely. Deleted in breast cancer-1 (DBC1) protein (KIAA1967) is over-expressed in several tumor types, and correlates with a poorer prognosis in some cases. We report here that DBC1 suppressed anoikis in normal epithelial and breast cancer cell lines. ...[more]
