Abstract excerpt
Hedgehog signal is re-activated in several cancers. In this study, we examined the role of Gli3 on malignant phenotype of tumorigenicity for colorectal cancer and its relationship with p53, WNT and ERK/AKT signals. Gli3 expression was detected in HT29 and SW480 (p53-mutant) cells, but not in DLD-1 (p53-mutant) or HCT116 (p53-wild type) cells by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and...
