Background and Objectives: Decreased expression of the E-cadherin/β£catenin cell-cell adhesion complex is considered to elicit detachment of tumor cells from primary lesions and development of metastases. The immunohistochemical profile of β£-catenin in colorectal cancer, as well as its correlation wi
## BACKGROUND. Matrilysin is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase gene family which is believed to play an important role in tumor progression. Matrilysin mRNA has been reported to be overexpressed in colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the enzyme activity of this protein d
The matrix-degrading enzyme family of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been implicated in the process of tumour metastasis. Cellular protein and RNA localisation techniques have been used to show that, whilst several MMP genes are expressed in both cancer and stromal cells, stromelysin 3 is expr
