ILK represses E-cadherin expression by regulating PARP-1 binding to the Snail promoter

The loss of E-cadherin, a critical component of the adherence junctions, is implicated in the metastasis of carcinomas and correlates with tumour grade. Here we show that in PC3 cells loss of Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK), AKT/PKB or Snail-1, results in the re-expression of E-cadherin at both the mRN...
