Aberrant expression of the Δ133p53 isoform is linked to many cancers. Here, the authors utilise a model of the Δ133p53 isoform that is prone to tumours and inflammation, showing that Δ133p53 promotes tumour cell invasion by activation of the JAK-STAT and RhoA-ROCK pathways in an IL-6 dependent manner.
