Downregulation of liver-intestine cadherin enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis in human gastric cancer BGC823 cells.

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer. Liver-intestine cadherin (CDH17) has been found to be involved in the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. Cisplatin is one of the most widely used antineoplastic agents in the treatment of solid tumor and hematological malignancies.
