Opposing prognostic relevance of junction plakoglobin in distinct prostate cancer patient subsets

Both oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions have been described for junction plakoglobin (JUP), also known as γ‐catenin. To clarify the role of JUP in prostate cancer, JUP protein expression was immunohistochemically detected in a tissue microarray containing 11 267 individual prostatectomy specim...

Zusammenfassung:Both oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions have been described for junction plakoglobin (JUP), also known as γ‐catenin. To clarify the role of JUP in prostate cancer, JUP protein expression was immunohistochemically detected in a tissue microarray containing 11 267 individual prostatectomy specimens. Considering all patients, high JUP expression was associated with adverse tumor stage (P = 0.0002), high Gleason grade (P
