During breast cancer metastasis, cells emigrate from the primary tumor to the bloodstream, which carries them to distant sites where they infiltrate and sometimes form metastases within target organs. These cells must penetrate the dense extracellular matrix comprising the basement membrane of the mammary duct/acinus and migrate toward blood and lymphatic vessels, processes that mammary tumor cells execute using primarily Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)-dependent protrusive and migratory activity. Here, we focus on how the actin regulatory protein Mena affects EGF-elicited movement, invasion and metastasis. Recent findings indicate that, in invasive migratory tumor cells, Mena isoforms that endow heightened sensitivity to EGF and increased protrusive and migratory abilities are up-regulated, while other isoforms are selectively down-regulated. This change in Mena isoform expression enables tumor cells to invade in response to otherwise benign EGF stimulus levels and may offer an opportunity to identify metastatic risk in patients.
