It is shown that an increase in serum levels of soluble ICAM-1 in colorectal cancer patients is not associated
with the presence of the alternative form of ICAM-1 mRNA in primary colorectal tumors. The alternative form is
characterised by a deletion in the transmembrane region and encodes soluble ICAM-1. The presence of mRNA encoding
soluble ICAM-1 in tumor cells, however, may be associated with a reduced risk of metastases. |
