Differential expression of E-cadherin gene in human neuroepithelial tumors.
Cadherins are cell-to-cell adhesion molecules that play an important role in the establishment of adherent-type junctions by mediating calcium-dependent cellular interactions. The CDH1 gene encodes the transmembrane glycoprotein E-cadherin which is important in maintaining homophilic cell-cell adhesion in epithelial tissues. E-cadherin interacts with catenin proteins to maintain tissue architec...

Carl E. Bauer and Terry H. Bird reduced (and protonated) it migrates to the cytochrome bc1 complex. The cytochrome bc1 complex then cycles Department of Biology Indiana University electrons from the quinone back to the reaction center via cytochrome c2 (or cytochrome cy). The bc1 complex Bloomington, Indiana 47405 also functions to translocate protons across the cytoplasmic membrane which creat...
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...
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
متن کاملE-cadherin intron 2 contains cis-regulatory elements essential for gene expression.
Cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion plays important roles in mouse embryonic development, and changes in cadherin expression are often linked to morphogenetic events. For proper embryonic development and organ formation, the expression of E-cadherin must be tightly regulated. Dysregulated expression during tumorigenesis confers invasiveness and metastasis. Except for the E-box motifs in the E-...
