Abstract

Background: Junctional Adhesion Molecule-A (JAM-A) has important physiological functions in epithelial and endothelial barriers, but its overexpression has also been linked with tumour progression and poor prognosis in various malignancies. Since JAM-A can be enzymatically cleaved (“cJAM-A”) and has been detected in the bloodstream, we hypothesized that cJAM-A shed from tumours overexpressing JAM-A may represent a possible predictor of treatment resistance in breast cancer.
