Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous reports have demonstrated that SNAI1 plays a role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the suppression of CDH1. Its role in the pathology and regulation of EMT expression to chemoresistance in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not yet been fully elucidated. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of Snai1 protein in 30 primary CRC samples. The biological...
