Expression of the cell adhesion molecules including E-cadherin and its cytosolic binding proteins, -and -catenins, has been widely studied in a variety of tumours, but not, to date, in thymic epithelial tumours. To observe the expression pattern of these adhesion molecules, immunohistochemical stain

Previous in vitro and in vivo model studies have shown that when E-cadherin expression in carcinoma cells is reduced, invasive behaviour ensues. The situation in human cancer in vivo, however, appears to be more complex, as immunohistochemically determined E-cadherin expression in various carcinomas
In the metastatic process, various cell-cell adhesion molecules seem to play an important role. E-cadherin, a transmembrane protein with an extracellular and an intracellular domain, is one of the key players involved in cell-cell adhesion. The function of E-cadherin in preventing metastasis in tumo
Tumour cell invasion and metastasis are the processes which kill most cancer patients. Tumour cells with the greatest invasive and metastatic capacity may be those with the highest number of genetic aberrations. The present study has analysed the expression of several tumour-related proteins in both
Expression of the cell adhesion molecule, epithelial nism. The transmembrane linker glycoprotein that cadherin (E-CD) and its binding proteins, a-and b-caten-mediates this adhesion is thought to be epithelial cadins, in normal liver, chronic liver diseases, and hepatoherin (E-CD), the homophilic in
