E-cadherin is the major cell-cell adhesion molecule expressed by epithelial cells. Cadherins form a complex with three cytoplasmic proteins, β£-, β€-, and β₯-catenin, and the interaction between them is crucial for anchoring the actin cytoskeleton to the intercellular adherens junctions. The invasive b
A series of 85 lung/bronchial tissue samples from 76 patients consisting of normal, metaplastic and dysplastic epithelium and different types of lung carcinomas were analyzed for the distribution of hyaluronan (HA), using a biotinylated hyaluronan binding complex as an HA-specific probe. The normal
Epithelial ovarian carcinomas are thought to originate in the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE), i.e., the mesothelium covering the ovary, but experimental evidence for this origin has been lacking. Contrary to most epithelia, where neoplastic progression is associated with a reduction of E-cadherin,
The ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is the origin of the majority of human ovarian cancers. These adenocarcinomas are characterized by initial local growth followed by spreading into the peritoneal cavity at later stages of tumor progression. The cell-adhesion molecule E-cadherin (E-cad) plays an i
