From: Expression of RSK4, CD44 and MMP-9 is upregulated and positively correlated in metastatic ccRCC

The expression of β-catenin protein varies in primary ccRCCs and metastatic ccRCCs. a: primary ccRCCs, b: metastatic ccRCCs, × 400. a weak positivity for β-catenin protein. b positivity for β-catenin protein. c Schematic of the pathway of RCC invasion and metastasis. RSK4 may be mediated through the regulation of CD44 and MMP-9 expression, while RSK4-mediated CD44 and MMP-9 may be mediated through the GSK 3β, β-catenin pathway or rps6 phosphorylation
