Annexin VI has tumour-suppressor activity in human A431 squamous epithelial carcinoma cells

Br J Cancer. 1995 Apr;71(4):786-8. doi: 10.1038/bjc.1995.152.

Abstract

In this study we show that heterologous expression of annexin VI in A431 squamous carcinoma cells caused a marked suppression of tumour cell growth when cells were cultured subcutaneously in nude mice. The tumours formed by the annexin VI+ A431 cells were morphologically and histologically similar to those formed by the wild-type cells.
