Does nuclear accumulation of e-cadherin correlate with loss of cytoplasmic membrane staining and invasion in pituitary adenomas?
E-cadherin was frequently lost at the cytoplasmic membrane but detected in the nucleus, suggesting that cleavage of the extracellular domain and nuclear translocation of E-cadherin is a common event that may determine local invasion in pituitary adenomas.
The expression of hsp27 in primary breast cancers is associated with a short survival for node-negative patients.
