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

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.
