Abstract excerpt
Abnormal nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) plays one of the key roles in the upregulation of the Wnt signalling pathway that can cause acceleration of cell proliferation. ICAT, inhibitor of beta-catenin and TCF4/beta-catenin-interacting protein, was isolated and mapped to 1p36, a frequent target for LOH in many human cancers. We have previously observed that a number of tumors showing abnormal...
