In addition, increased COLI did not alter primary tumor growth and ERα expression but enhanced circulating cancer cells and metastasizing cancer cells with decreased phospho-STAT5 expression, increased phospho-ERK1/2, and increased phospho-AKT expression; this phenomenon coincided with the formation of invasive protrusions of the primary tumor harboring collagen fibers angled perpendicularly to the tumor mass [75]. Here, MAPK3 is linked to neoplasm.
