## Abstract Recent studies revealed an important role of aquaporins (AQPs) in cell migration and migrationβassociated cell function such as angiogenesis, wound healing, and neutrophil motility. Migration of tumor cells is a crucial step in tumor invasion and metastasis. In the present study, we inv
Aquaporins (AQPs) are molecular water channels, and 10 related AQPs have been identified in mammals. So far, the study of mammalian AQP expression has been limited mainly to mice and rat lung, kidney, brain, and gastrointestinal tract. Although AQP3 and AQP7 have been shown to be involved in volume-
