Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor gene, or its downstream target beta-catenin, have been implicated in the initiation of most sporadic human colorectal epithelial neoplasms. These mutations, in turn, lead to aberrant nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and subsequent activation of the beta-catenin/Tcf transcription factor complex. In vitro studies utilizing cultured human colon cancer...
