ICAM1 and carcinoma: Since we had shown that EBP1 regulates the protein levels of MMP9, E-cadherin and ICAM-1, we detected the immunoreactivity of MMP9, E-cadherin and ICAM-1 in the same 132 paraffin-embedded normal adjacent and carcinoma tissues as used for immunostaining of EBP1, then analyzed their correlations to better understand the pathophysiological and clinical context in which EBP1 might operate.
