A total of 213 genes that were differentially expressed among GC samples with higher (≥75%) and lower levels of Snail expression were clustered into 2 distinct groups: those associated with regulation of cancer cell–ECM adhesion, and those associated with ECM protein regulation, such as ONECUT1[21], ADAMTS[22], IFNAR2[23], MSR1[24], and SORL1[25]. Here, SNAI1 is linked to cancer.
