Prostate cancer has the highest prevalence of any nonskin cancer in the human body, with
similar likelihood of neoplastic foci found within the prostates of men around the world …

Purpose: Cell adhesion molecules are of crucial importance in cancer invasion and
metastasis. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition, characterized by reduced E-cadherin and …

The hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and its receptor, the Met protein
tyrosine kinase, form a classic ligand-receptor system for epithelial-mesenchymal …

Cadherin-catenin complexes play a key role in embryonic development, and are associated
with carcinogenesis and metastasis. We studied the expression of the major members of the …

Androgens and the androgen receptor (AR) act in cells by modulating gene expression.
Through gene microarray studies, we have identified Ets Variant Gene 1 (ETV1) as a novel …

N-myc downstream regulated gene-1 (NDRG1)/Cap43 plays an important role in tumor
progression and metastases in many kinds of cancers. Recently, it was reported that …

E-cadherin is a cell–cell adhesion molecule that acts as a suppressor of cancer cell invasion
and its expression is downregulated in many advanced, poorly differentiated, human …

Multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) may mediate multidrug resistance in tumor
cells. Using a gene array analysis, we have identified MRP4 as an androgen receptor (AR) …

The growth and progression of prostate cancer are dependent on androgens and androgen
receptor (AR), which act by modulating gene expression. Utilizing a gene microarray …

The objective of this study was to examine E-cadherin and α-catenin expression at the
junctions between adjacent Sertoli cells in testicular specimens from patients with varicocele …
