Slug is overexpressed in gastric carcinomas and may act synergistically with SIP1 and Snail in the down‐regulation of E‐cadherin

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) involving down-regulation of E-cadherin is known to play an important role in tumour progression. The aim of our study was to investigate the mRNA expression of two EMT regulators-Slug and E12/E47-in primary human gastric carcinomas and to compare this with the expression of E-cadherin and other EMT regulators (Snail, Twist, and SIP1). We studied a series of 59 gastric...
