Abstract excerpt
Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are thought to promote metastasis via downregulation of E-cadherin (also known as Cdh1) and upregulation of mesenchymal markers such as N-cadherin (Cdh2) and vimentin (Vim). Contrary to this, E-cadherin is retained in many invasive carcinomas and promotes collective cell invasion. To investigate how E-cadherin regulates metastasis, we examined the highly metastatic,...
