Abstract excerpt
L-plastin, a gene that codes for an actin-bundling protein, is upregulated in the metastatic colon cancer cell line SW620, when compared to its premetastatic counterpart SW480. The aim of our study was to characterise the effect of L-plastin overexpression on SW480 cells in the context of the acquisition of a metastatic phenotype. SW480 cell lines overexpressing L-plastin were established (SW480-LPL). Analysis of...
