Vimentin expression was consistently downregulated in mammary carcinoma cell lines in which β-catenin was localized at the plasma membrane (Sh-Ncad1.1 and Sh-Ncad2), but vimentin levels remained unchanged in lines that that showed cytoplasmic and/or nuclear distribution of β-catenin (Sh-Ncad1.2 and Sh-VEcad1). Here, VIM is linked to breast carcinoma.
