Transactivation of MCP‐1/CCL2 by β‐catenin/TCF‐4 in human breast cancer cells
7 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
The loss of E-cadherin expression and the translocation of beta-catenin to the nucleus are frequently associated with the metastatic conversion of epithelial cells. In the nucleus, beta-catenin binds to the TCF/LEF-1 (T-cell factor/ lymphoid enhancer factor) transcription factor family resulting in the activation of several genes, some of them having important implications in tumour progression. In our study, we...
