CD147 promotes breast cancer migration and invasion by inducing epithelialmesenchymal transition via the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway

CD147, a transmembrane glycoprotein, has been implicated in various cancer-related processes but its role in breast cancer remains poorly understood. Herein, we investigated the expression of CD147 in different breast cancer cell lines and explored its functional roles, including migration, invasion, drug resistance and modulation of key proteins associated with cancer progression.
