Ecto-5′-Nucleotidase (eN, CD73) is Coexpressed with Metastasis Promoting Antigens in Human Melanoma Cells
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Upregulated expression of eN has been found in the highly invasive human melanoma cell lines but neither in melanocytes nor in primary tumor cells. Membrane proteins associated with cell adhesion and metastasis: alpha5-, beta1-, beta3-integrins, and CD44 were elevated gradually in accordance with increasing metastatic potential. alphav-integrin was seen mostly in aggressive melanomas. The expression of eN...
