MAPK3 and neoplasm: To elucidate the role of LAT1 in tumor-related endothelial cells, tumor cells were injected into endothelial cell-specific LAT1 conditional knockout mice (Slc7a5flox/flox; Cdh5-Cre-ERT2), and we found that the shape of the tumor vasculature was normalized and the size and numbers of lung metastasis was reduced.
