Research indicates that anoikis, a distinct type of programmed cell death, influences the biological behavior of different cancers.[8] Jin et al[18] showed that glutamate dehydrogenase 1 levels increase after pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 dissociation, offering antianoikis and metastasis-promoting signals in lung cancer lacking LKB1. The gene discussed is STK11; the disease is lung carcinoma.
