Is [ Decorin protein down-regulated in non-small cell lung cancer tissue and significantly associated with histological type ]?
Decreased levels of decorin in NSCLC tissue samples, particularly ADC cases, indicate that decorin could play a role in lung cancer carcinogenesis.
We conclude that high Pkp2, and low Pkp3, expression is associated with bladder cancer cell invasion and that neither Pkp2 nor Pkp3 is associated with cell proliferation. We further hypothesize that accumulation of Pkp2 and 3 in the cell cytoplasm, rather than their recruitment to the cell membrane, is related to an increased ability of the tumor to invade and metastasize.
