Vimentin expression in human squamous carcinoma cells: Relationship with phenotypic changes and cadherin-based cell adhesion (original) (raw)

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2000

Abstract

Phenotypic changes resembling an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition often occur as epithelial cells become tumorigenic. Two proteins that have been implicated in this process are vimentin and N-cadherin. In this study, we sought to establish a link between expression of vimentin and N-cadherin as oral squamous epithelial cells undergo a morphologic change resembling an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. We found that N-cadherin and vimentin did not influence the expression of one another.
