For example, treatment of prostate cancer with pomegranate extracts resulted in an upregulation of genes involved in cell adhesion (E-cadherin, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1)) while genes that are important for cell migration (hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) and type I collagen) were downregulated. The gene discussed is HMMR; the disease is prostate cancer.
