Bone-related Genes Expressed in Advanced Malignancies Induce Invasion and Metastasis in a Genetically Defined Human Cancer Model
25 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
We employed a genetically defined human cancer model to investigate the contributions of two genes up-regulated in several cancers to phenotypic changes associated with late stages of tumorigenesis. Specifically, tumor cells expressing two structurally unrelated bone-related genes, osteonectin and osteoactivin, acquired a highly invasive phenotype when implanted intracranially in immunocompromised mice. Mimicking...
