1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Direct interaction with cancer-associated fibroblasts triggers WNT5A expression in human gastric carcinoma (GC) cells. In this study, we performed gene transduction experiments to investigate the significance of WNT5A in the GC tumor microenvironment. METHODS: Gene transduction (pWNT5A and shWNT5A) was performed in human GC-derived MKN-7 cells. Altered gene expression was examined by RT-PCR and cDNA...
