may be an early step in the transformation of hepatocytes, whereas alteration of the expression of adherens junctions and desmosomes may indicate more serious changes (Cao 2007)
tumoral     --over  
nuclear overexpression promotes tumorigenesis in the colon and the regulation of CLDN2 expression is instrumental in this effect (Buchert 2010)
