The cellular signaling network consisting of the cell-adhesion molecule E-cadherin and the receptor tyrosine kinase EGFR plays an important role in the tumor progression of gastric cancer. The present study investigates the impact of E-cadherin on EGFR signaling and on EGFR-targeted cancer therapy. By use of various biochemical and immunological methods, e.g. protein arrays, predictive markers for the response to EGFR inhibition as well as target structures for therapeutic intervention could be identified.
