Abstract excerpt

Leucine zipper-EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1 (LETM1) is closely related to the occurrence and development of malignant tumors. This study discusses the expression of LETM1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its association with cancer stem-like cells (CSC). We used immunohistochemistry in 166 ESCC tissue samples, as well as Western blot and immunofluorescent methods in ESCC cell lines,...
