Loss of Beta-Catenin Expression in Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Beta-catenin (beta-catenin) participates in intercellular adhesion and is an integral part of the Wnt signaling pathway. The role of beta-catenin in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer and its metastasis is largely unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to analyze the expression of beta-catenin in 87 human gastric cancers, in metastasis and cancer cell...
