| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study investigated the expression and localization of tight-junction-associated protein claudins in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines. The membranous expression of claudin-1 was correlated with lymphatic vessel invasion and depth of tumor invasion, whereas the nuclear expression of claudin-3 was significantly increased in mucinous adenocarcinoma. The expression level of the claudin-1 protein was significantly lower in metastatic colon cancer cell line SW620 cells than in primary colon cancer cell line Caco-2 cells. Up-regulation of claudin-1 expression was associated with cell proliferation and cell migration.
