Absence of E-cadherin expression distinguishes noncohesive from cohesive pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE The role of E-cadherin in carcinogenesis is of great interest, but few studies have examined its relevance to pancreatic carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We evaluated E-cadherin protein expression by immunohistochemistry in pancreatobiliary cancers having a noncohesive histologic phenotype (21 undifferentiated adenocarcinomas and 7 signet ring carcinomas), comparing the results with pan...
متن کاملNormal Prostate E-Cadherin Distinguishes Prostate Cancer from Matched Posttranslational Truncation and Inactivation of Human
An essential event in the progression of adenocarcinoma is the loss of organized epithelial attachment (both to the basement membrane and to adjoining epithelial cells). The E-cadherin cell adhesion molecule has an established function in maintaining normal phenotype and tissue homeostasis, and loss of E-cadherin function has been implicated in tumorigenesis. Aberrations in E-cadherin are assoc...

متن کاملE-cadherin expression in invasive breast cancer.
There were investigated 22 cases with invasive breast carcinoma from the archive material, and the immunohistochemical expression of E-cadherin was correlated with clinical stage, pathological type, grade of the tumor, and lymph nodes status. The expression of E-cadherin was assessed by the pattern of the final product of reaction and number of positive cells. The reaction was appreciated as no...
متن کاملSilibinin upregulates E-cadherin expression in MKN-45 human gastric cancer cells
Background and objectives: Gastric cancer is currently known as one of the most important causes of cancer-driven death all over the world. In patients with gastric cancer, a significant proportion of death occurs due to metastasis. On the other hand, down modulated E-cadherin level has been reported as an important contributor to tumor cell invasion and metastasis. In this re...
