Few animal models are available to study metastasis formation. The purpose of the present study was to obtain a useful model of metastasis formation in nude mice in an attempt to analyze the stroma reaction and in particular the production and the expression of hyaluronan (HA), hyaluronidase, and HA

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
We have examined the anti-tumor effect in nude mice caused by human pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1) modified to secrete IL-2 or IL-4. Loss of tumorigenicity of cytokineproducing, but not wild-type, cells was observed despite their unaltered in vitro proliferation rates; and these anti-tumor effects
Voltage-gated Na / channels, classically associated with impulse conduction in excitable tissues, are also found in a variety of epithelial cell types where their possible functions are not known so well. We have previously reported expression of a voltage-gated Na / channel specifically in the high
A possible novel mechanism of cross-resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) in the doxorubicin-resistant ovarian-cancer cell line A2780-DX3, which displays atypical multidrug resistance, is presented. A2780-DX3 is found to be more resistant than the parental line A2780 in terms of CDDP-induced cytotoxicity a
The AU565 breast carcinoma cell line was used to determine the role of the extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in mediating Heregulinβ€1 (HRGβ€1)-induced mammary cell differentiation. ERK activation remained elevated for 2 h following high doses of HRG which induce differentiation. In contras
