Truncated RON Tyrosine Kinase Drives Tumor Cell Progression and Abrogates Cell-Cell Adhesion Through E-Cadherin Transcriptional Repression
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
RON is a tyrosine kinase receptor that triggers scattering of normal cells and invasive growth of cancer cells on ligand binding. We identified a short RON mRNA, which is expressed in human lung, ovary, tissues of the gastrointestinal tract, and also in several human cancers, including ovarian carcinomas and cell lines from pancreatic carcinomas and leukemias. This transcript encodes a truncated protein...
