“…δ-Catenin has also been implicated in the cell-cell interaction and signaling transduction in cancers including prostate (Burger et al, 2002;Lu et al, 2005;Lu et al, 2009), lung (Dai et al, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2013b), ovarian (Fang et al, 2012), brain and colorectal tumors (Zhang et al, 2013a). Our previously published data shows that δ-catenin promotes angiogenesis through the stabilization of HIF-1α, activating VEGF in the CWR22Rv-1 prostate cancer cell line (He et al, 2013). We have also demonstrated that δ-catenin promotes E-cadherin processing, resulting in the activation of β-catenin-mediated oncogenic signals (Kim et al, 2012).…”
