Abstract excerpt
Evidence shows that Bcl-2 family members play a direct role in the development of some human malignancies. However, the mechanism by which Bcl-2 may influence tumor cell invasion and metastasis remains unclear. Ectopic overexpression of Bcl-2 in the human squamous carcinoma cell line HSC-3 enhanced tumorigenicity and experimental pulmonary metastasis. Interestingly, Bcl-2-expressing cells showed morphologic...
