| Research Abstract |
Aberrant cytoplasmic accumulation of beta-catenin can induce TCF/Lef-mediated transcriptional activity and enhance the migration of OSCC through the elevation of active Rho family, Cdc42 and Rac, and the rearrangement of actin filaments. Wnt5a may be involved in this enhancement of migration in OSCC , and be one of factors to link beta-catenin pathway with PCP pathway.
