title: [The roles of rab5a gene in the mechanism of tumor metastasis].
abstract: To study the role of rab5a gene in the mechanism of tumor metastasis, rab5a gene was stable transfected into AGZY83-a cell, a lung adenocarcinoma cell line with low metastatic potential. Superarray was applied to study the effect of rab5a on the differential expression of genes related to tumor metastasis. Five differentially expressed genes were obtained, including one up-regulated gene s100a4 and 4 down-regulated genes, nm23a, rac1, cst3 and col4a2. These results were confirmed at both the RNA and protein levels. We concluded that rab5a promoted tumor metastasis by affecting multiple genes in several pathways involved in tumor metastasis.
