Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (KSA) expression: pathobiology and its role as an independent predictor of survival in renal cell carcinoma.
PURPOSE Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a widely expressed adhesion molecule in epithelial cancers. The purpose of this study is to determine the protein expression patterns of EpCAM in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using tissue arrays linked to a clinicopathological database to evaluate both its predictive power in patient stratification and its suitability as a potential target for ...
متن کاملRadiation-induced expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in cerebral endothelial cells
Background: Radiation-induced molecular changes on the endothelial surface of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) may be used as markers for specific vascular targeting agents. In this study, we examined the level of expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) on brain endothelial cell surface after radiation treatment, with the aim of targeting the radiation-induc...
متن کاملEpithelial cell adhesion molecule-targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy.
INTRODUCTION The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is abundantly expressed in epithelial tumors, on cancer stem cells and circulating tumor cells. Together with its role in oncogenic signaling, this has sparked interest in its potential for tumor targeting with antibodies and drug conjugates for safe and effective cancer therapy. Recent advances in protein engineering, linker design and...
متن کاملCleavage and cell adhesion properties of human epithelial cell adhesion molecule (HEPCAM).
Human epithelial cell adhesion molecule (HEPCAM) is a tumor-associated antigen frequently expressed in carcinomas, which promotes proliferation after regulated intramembrane proteolysis. Here, we describe extracellular shedding of HEPCAM at two α-sites through a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) and at one β-site through BACE1. Transmembrane cleavage by γ-secretase occurs at three γ-sites ...
متن کاملExpression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule in gallbladder carcinoma and its correlation with clinicopathologic variables.
Gallbladder carcinoma is rare and fatal, and conventional therapies have been disappointing. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) serves as a prognostic marker in various carcinomas and is a target of antibody-based therapies. Our purpose was to examine the expression of EpCAM in gallbladder carcinomas in relation to tumor grade, disease stage, and patient survival. Gallbladder carcinoma t...
