L1-Mediated Colon Cancer Cell Metastasis Does Not Require Changes in EMT and Cancer Stem Cell Markers
2 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is common in most sporadic and inherited colorectal cancer (CRC) cells leading to elevated β-catenin/TCF transactivation. We previously identified the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 as a target gene of β-catenin/TCF in CRC cells. Forced expression of L1 confers increased cell motility, invasion, and tumorigenesis, and the induction of human CRC cell metastasis to...
