Soluble N-terminal EphA2 fragment as a diagnostic biomarker and functional mediator of tumor progression in triple-negative breast cancer.

A soluble protein fragment drives triple-negative breast cancer cell migration, opening potential new targets for treatment.

This diagnostic validation study examined Soluble N-terminal EphA2 fragment as a diagnostic biomarker and functional mediator of tumor progression in triple-negative breast cancer. The abstract reports that Functionally, recombinant EphA2-P328 promoted TNBC-cell migration and induced cell context-dependent changes in EMT-associated markers in vitro.
