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

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
A series of 85 lung/bronchial tissue samples from 76 patients consisting of normal, metaplastic and dysplastic epithelium and different types of lung carcinomas were analyzed for the distribution of hyaluronan (HA), using a biotinylated hyaluronan binding complex as an HA-specific probe. The normal
The expression of human placental-type glutathione S-transferase (GST-~) was investigated in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and normal skin using Northern blot and immunohistochemical analysis. In Northern blot examination, the expression of GST-~ transcript was recognized in all inst
## Abstract We investigated the effects of overexpression of the tuberous sclerosisβ1 and β2 (__TSC1/2__) gene products (hamartin and tuberin, respectively) in the human kidney epithelial cell line 293 with an inducible expression system. As we had observed previously in fibroblasts, 293 cells over
