Nuclear factor-κB signaling and ezrin are essential for L1-mediated metastasis of colon cancer cells
25 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Hyperactivation of beta-catenin-T-cell-factor (TCF)-regulated gene transcription is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC). The cell-neural adhesion molecule L1CAM (hereafter referred to as L1) is a target of beta-catenin-TCF, exclusively expressed at the CRC invasive front in humans. L1 overexpression in CRC cells increases cell growth and motility, and promotes liver metastasis. Genes induced by L1 are also...
