Abstract

The E-cadherin protein plays major roles in tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. Polymorphisms located in the E-cadherin gene (CDH1) may contribute to increased risks of specific cancers. In this study, we evaluated the associations between genetic variants in CDH1 and the clinical outcomes of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We assessed the -160C/A and -347G/GA polymorphisms in the promoter region, as well as the 3'-UTR +54C/T polymorphism of E-cadherin, in 257 patients with EOC by ligase detection reaction-polymerase chain reaction. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with EOC with the CDH1 -347GA/GA genotype had shorter progression-free survival and overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 2.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-4.40 and HR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.01-4.19, respectively) compared to those carrying the G/G genotype. Likewise, the patients with the CDH1 -160A/A genotype had a shorter progression-free survival than those with the C/C genotype (HR, 4.12; 95% CI, 1.43-111.88). No significant association was detected between the CDH1 3'-UTR +54C/T polymorphism and survival of the patients with EOC. The CDH1 -347GA/GA and -160A/A genotypes may be prognostic markers that can help to identify patien...Continue Reading

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
