<i>E-cadherin</i>Gene Promoter Hyper-methylation in Blood Samples from Breast Cancer Cases
2021-04-06
Abstract excerpt
In carcinomas, dissemination of cancer cells via blood or lymph circulation constitutes an early event. E-cadherin is a transmembrane calcium dependent adhesion protein. Cellular de-differentiation and plasticity, underlying metastasis, is attributed to the loss of function of E-cadherin ( cdh1 ) gene. The loss of gene expression may arise from promoter hypermethylation, which has been reported in multiple cancers...
