Defective Claudin-7 Regulation by Tcf-4 and Sox-9 Disrupts the Polarity and Increases the Tumorigenicity of Colorectal Cancer Cells
1 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Tight junctions have recently emerged as essential signaling regulators of proliferation and differentiation in epithelial tissues. Here, we aimed to identify the factors regulating claudin-7 expression in the colon, and analyzed the consequences of claudin-7 overexpression in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In healthy human colonic crypts, claudin-7 expression was found to be low in the stem/progenitor cell...
