Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine whether nm23 steady-state mRNA expression levels correlate with metastatic potential of mouse K-1735 melanoma cells, human KM12 colon cancer cells, and human SN12 renal cancer cells. Since neoplasms are heterogeneous and contain subpopulations of cells with different metastatic potentials, we analyzed multiple sets of nonmetastatic and metastatic clones isolated from...
