A STAT-responsive Element in the Promoter of the Episialin/MUC1 Gene Is Involved in Its Overexpression in Carcinoma Cells
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
The mucin-like glycoprotein episialin (MUC1) is highly overproduced by a number of human carcinomas. We have shown previously in a variety of mammalian cell lines that overexpression of this very large transmembrane molecule diminishes cellular adhesion, suggesting that episialin/MUC1 overexpression may play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. By using in situ hybridization, we show here that...
