During the progression of many cancers, cell-cell adhesion molecules, e.g., E-cadherin (EC), may be down-regulated. In a number of carcinomas, EC has been described as an independent prognostic variable. We have studied the expression of adhesion molecules participating in cadherin-catenin complexes
## Abstract Human leukocyte antigen **(**HLA)βG inhibits functions of immune component cells and promotes malignant cells evading from antitumor immunity. We investigated the clinical relevance of HLAβG expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In our study, HLAβG expression in 79 pr
## Abstract Human BATF2, a basic leucine zipper protein, was recently detected in several normal immortalized cell lines but not in transformed cell lines. In addition, the expression of BATF2 also slowed the growth rate of malignant tumor cells injected into athymic nude mice. In this study, to st
The cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin has been shown to suppress invasive growth of epithelial cells in vitro, and loss of its expression is thought to be important in invasion and metastatic potential of epithelial tumors in vivo. We retrospectively studied the level of E-cadherin expression i
