The research suggests that reducing production of the protein, called myoferlin, affects cancer cells in two primary ways: by changing the activation of many genes involved in metastasis in favor of normal cell behavior, and by altering mechanical properties of cancer cells — including their shape and ability to invade — so they are more likely to remain nested together rather than breaking away to travel to other tissues.
L1CAM protein (brown in top panel) resides in cells poised to break from the cancer's bulk (cells with b - catenin are brown in bottom panel) and invade other tissues.
