Functional characterization of E- and P-cadherin in invasive breast cancer cells
3 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in the cadherin-catenin adhesion complexes are involved in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. However, the functional implication of distinct cadherin types in breast cancer biology is still poorly understood. METHODS: To compare the functional role of E-cadherin and P-cadherin in invasive breast cancer, we stably transfected these molecules into the MDA-MB-231 cell line, and...
