QPRT Drives Breast Cancer Invasion via PLC–MLC Signaling
2026-09-10
Liu et al. show that elevated quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRT) promotes breast cancer migration and invasion through a signaling axis linked to purinergic receptors, Rho/ROCK, phospholipase C, and myosin light chain phosphorylation. The study connects altered NAD+ metabolism with cytoskeletal remodeling and provides a pharmacological framework for testing PLC-dependent mechanisms in invasive breast cancer models.
