Pg is a homologue of beta-catenin and Armadillo, the product of the Drosophila segment polarity gene and has been shown to have both adhesive and signaling functions. It interacts with both classic and desmosomal cadherins. Pg interaction with the desmosomal cadherins is essential for desmosome asse

Spatially regulated expression of E (epithelial)-and P (placental)-cadherins is crucial for maintaining normal epidermal architecture. In cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), aberrant P-cadherin expression is often observed in ''squamoid'' cancer cells, whereas E-cadherin expression in cancer
Phenotypic changes resembling an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition often occur as epithelial cells become tumorigenic. Two proteins that have been implicated in this process are vimentin and N-cadherin. In this study, we sought to establish a link between expression of vimentin and N-cadherin as
We used a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method for squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen mRNA to detect circulating tumour cells in patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The sensitivity of the method, as determined by cell spiking experiments, was 10 cultured A431 cells am
Between 1992 and 1997, we conducted a case-control study of oesophageal cancer in 3 areas of northern Italy. Cases were 275 men, ages 39-77 years (median age 60), with a first incident squamous-cell carcinoma of the oesophagus. Controls were 593 men, ages 36-77 years (median age 60) admitted for acu
