JC Virus Mediates Invasion and Migration in Colorectal Metastasis
2 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: JC Virus (JCV), a human polyomavirus, is frequently present in colorectal cancers (CRCs). JCV large T-Ag (T-Ag) expressed in approximately half of all CRC's, however, its functional role in CRC is poorly understood. We hypothesized that JCV T-Ag may mediate metastasis in CRC cells through increased migration and invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: CRC cell lines (HCT116 and SW837) were stably...
