Expression of p120-Catenin Isoforms Correlates with Genomic and Transcriptional Phenotype of Breast Cancer Cell Lines by Joana Paredes, Ana Luísa Correia, Ana Sofia Ribeiro, Fernando Schmitt

“…Accumulating evidences indicate that p120-catenin is important in tumour formation and progression, although the role of their multiple spliced isoforms in the regulation of cadherin-mediated adhesion of malignant cells is still not well understood. We investigated the expression of p120-catenin isoforms in a collection of breast cancer cell lines with distinct molecular profiles and expressing different cadherins. …”
