Activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling by EGF downregulates membranous E-cadherin and â-catenin and enhances invasion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Dysregulation of E-cadherin and β-catenin function in cell-cell adhesion is common in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and correlates with metastatic disease. In this study, we examined the role of EGF-activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling in E-cadherin and β-catenin regulation....
