Metastases of various malignancies have been shown to be inversely related to the abundance of nm23 protein expression. However, the downstream pathways involved in nm23-mediated suppression of metastasis have not been elucidated. In the present investigation, we used cDNA microarrays to identify no

## Background: Nm23 has been recognized as a potential suppressor gene of metastasis. reduced nm23 expression in breast carcinoma has been found to correlate with axillary lymph node metastases, high grade tumors, and shorter survival. ## Methods: Nm23 protein was detected immunocytochemically us
Biological functions proposed for the ST3 and nm23 genes in tumour development and progression seem to be directly opposed. Stromelysin-3 (ST3) is a putative member of the matrix metalloproteinase family. ST3 has been implicated in the progression of epithelial malignancies, specifically with regard
NM23 is a protein associated with tumor progression, expressed in all tissues and in human tumors. Reduced expression of NM23.H1 is related to high incidence of lymph node and distant metastasis or to poor prognosis of the patient in several human malignant tumors. In this study we analyze NM23 expr
A series for Nm23-protein immunodetection was investigated in human breast carcinomas. Frozen sections were processed by automated immunoperoxidase procedure, and immunoprecipitates in positive tumors were quantified by processing digitized microscopic images. Nm23 immunohistochemical expression in
