Down-Regulation of CDH1 Is Associated with Expression of SNAI1 in Colorectal Adenomas
28 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Down-regulation of E-cadherin (CDH1) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are considered critical events for invasion and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma. Here we tested whether the important regulators of E-cadherin expression SNAI1 and TWIST1 are already detectable in human colorectal adenomas. METHODS: RNA was extracted from a set of randomly selected formalin-fixed and...
