Potential Signalling Pathways of Wnt/β-Catenin, EpCAM and miR-181 Activated in Hepatic Cancer Stem Cells. Upon cleavage by TACE/PS-2, EpICD translocates into the nucleus in a multiprotein complex. Together with FHL2, β-catenin and Lef-1, EpICD contacts DNA at Lef-1 consensus sites. Owing to its ability to inhibit E-cadherin-mediated adhesion, EpCAM provides itself with β-catenin as a central interacting protein.
