    Histone H3K9 Methyltransferase SETDB1 Augments Invadopodia Formation to Promote Tumor Metastasis

    Investigators demonstrated that SETDB1 augmented the migration and invasion capabilities of non-small cell lung cancer
    cells by reinforcing invadopodia formation and mediated ECM degradation.

    Abstract

    The Transcription Factor PREP1 (PKNOX1) Regulates Nuclear Stiffness, the Expression of LINC Complex Proteins and Mechanotransduction

    The authors showed that PKNOX1 regulated the stiffness of the nucleus, the expression of LINC complex proteins, and
    mechanotransduction of YAP-TAZ.
