β2-adrenoceptor signaling regulates invadopodia formation to enhance tumor cell invasion
Conclusion:
These findings provide insight into conditions that control tumor cell invasion by identifying signaling through β
2
-adrenoceptors as a regulator of invadopodia formation. These findings suggest novel pharmacological strategies for intervention, by using β-blockers to target β
2
-adrenoceptors to limit tumor cell dissemination and metastasis.
