Dysadherin Overexpression in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Reflects Tumor Aggressiveness: Relationship to E-Cadherin Expression
13 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion system is frequently inactivated by multiple mechanisms and is involved in tumor progression in many types of cancer. Recently, we reported the cloning and characterization of dysadherin and showed that it downregulated E-cadherin and promoted metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of dysadherin expression and the relationship...
