SLIT2 Attenuation during Lung Cancer Progression Deregulates β-Catenin and E-Cadherin and Associates with Poor Prognosis
12 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Chromosome 4p15.3 is frequently deleted in late-stage lung cancer. We investigated the significance of the SLIT2 gene located in this region to lung cancer progression. SLIT2 encodes an extracellular glycoprotein that can suppress breast cancer by regulating beta-catenin. In this study, we examined alterations in the structure or expression of SLIT2, its receptor ROBO1, and beta-catenin, along with the...
