Tumor metastasis is the major cause of deaths in cancer patients and is modulated by intertwined stress-responsive signaling cascades. Here we demonstrate that deletion of stress-responsive apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (Ask1) in platelets results in unstable hemostasis and drastic attenuation of tumor lung metastasis, both of which are attributable to platelet dysfunction. Platelet-specific deletion of Ask1 in mice leads to defects in ADP-dependent platelet aggregation, unstable hemostas ...[more]
