Abnormal cell adhesion is an important contributing factor in invasion and metastasis. Here, we show that morphologically 'normal' cell-cell and cell-substratum adhesion can be restored to a poorly differentiated carcinoma cell line by activation of protein kinase C (PKC). This cell line, VACO 10MS,
Expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its tyrosine kinase receptor, c-Met, is positively correlated with breast carcinoma progression. We found that in invasive and metastatic MTLn3 breast carcinoma cells, HGF stimulated both initial adhesion to and motility on the extracellular matrix (E
