Background Cell–cell adhesion molecules such as desmosomes and cytokeratins may play
a major role in epithelial–mesenchymal transition and have been suggested to have a …

Desmocollin 2, a desmosomal component, is a key membrane glycoprotein critically
involved in cell-cell adhesion and the maintenance of normal tissue architectures in …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers around the world with
a poor prognosis. The main reason for poor prognosis is early stage HCC is inconspicuous …

Background The disruption of epithelial features represents a critical step during breast
cancer spread. In this context, the dysregulation of desmosomal proteins has been …

BACKGROUND: Desmocollin3 (DSC3) is a member of the cadherin superfamily of calcium-
dependent cell adhesion molecules and plays an important role in tumor invasion and …

Background: Frequent disease relapse and a lack of effective therapies result in a very poor
outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. Thus, identification of …

Abstract Desmocollin 3 (DSC3) is a transmembrane adhesion protein of desmosomes and
involved in carcinogenesis in various cancer types. Downregulation of DSC3 has been …

Background Desmocollin 3 (DSC3), a member of the cadherin gene superfamily, is
associated with pathogenesis of some cancers, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains …

Background: Accumulating evidence shows that the elevated expression of DCBLD2
(discoidin, CUB and LCCL domain-containing protein 2) is associated with unfavorable …

Background/Aim: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) still represents one of the most
aggressive cancers. Understanding of the epithelial–mesenchymal crosstalk as a crucial …
