Abnormal Wnt signaling and impaired cell–cell adhesion due to abnormal E-cadherin and β-catenin function have been implicated in many cancers, but have not been fully explored in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The aim of this study was to analyze β-Catenin cellular location and E-cadherin expression leve

E-cadherin and its associated cytoplasmic proteins -, -, and -catenins play important roles in cell adhesion and signal transduction, as well as in maintenance of the structural and functional organization of polarized epithelial cells. In this study, the expression, distribution, and complex assemb
In addition to their role in maintenance of tissue integrity, cell adhesion molecules regulate the growth and differentiation of stratified squamous epithelia. Reduced expression of E-cadherin and the 2 1 , 3 1 and 6 4 integrins is already reported to correlate with poor histological differentiation
