## Abstract Altered microRNA (miRNA) expression has been found to promote carcinogenesis, but little is known about the role of miRNAs in esophageal cancer. In this study, we selected 10 miRNAs and analyzed their expression in 10 esophageal cancer cell lines and 158 tissue specimens using Northern

✦ Synopsis
Dear Sir,
Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive upper aerodigestive tract malignancies and major cause of cancerrelated mortality worldwide, exhibiting marked variation in geographical incidence. 1 Despite intensive multimodality therapy, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, prognosis of this disease remains dismal, with a 5-year survival rate of 5-10%. 2 The development of novel diagnostic or therapeutic strategies requires an in-depth under-

Beta-Mannosidase activity of liver, kidney, and spleen of two inbred strains of mice and their crosses has been assayed with the synthetic aubstrate p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-mannoside. Activity is low in C57BL/Kl mice and high in DBA/2/Kl mice. Hybrid animals have intermediate levels of beta-mannosidase
The activity of -galactoside ␣2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal.1), the enzyme responsible for the addition of sialic acid in ␣2,6-linkage to N-acetyllactosaminic (Gal1,4GlcNAc) units of glycoconjugates, is increased in the vast majority of colon cancer specimens, and a positive correlation with an in
Major histocompatibility complex molecules (HLA), the co-stimulatory molecule B7 and the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) are key molecules involved in T cell-mediated immune surveillance. We aimed at assessing the expression pattern of these immunoregulatory molecules on primary esophagea
-catenin regulates cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and also functions as a signaling molecule. In this study, we examined the expression pattern of E-cadherin, ␣-catenin and -catenin in 22 cases of esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma by Western-blot analysis. Expression of E-cadherin, ␣-cateni
